Reasons for Optimism, Causes for Concern in the P/C Insurance Industry
• Economic recovery in US is self-sustaining: no double dip recession
• European debt crisis will pass; concerns are overblown
– Volatility will remain a reality, however
• No secondary spike in unemployment or swoon in payrolls
– But job and wage growth will remain sluggish
• Global P/C (re)insurance has recaptured 100% of capital/capacity eroded away during the financial crisis
– Critical given ongoing volatility and threat of severe hurricane season in the US and high catastrophe losses on a global basis

Reasons for Optimism, Causes for Concern in the P/C Insurance Industry
• Investment environment is/remains much more favorable
– Volatility, however, will persist and yields remain low
– Both are critical issues in pricing long-tailed commercial lines like WC, D&O
• Financial strength and ratings of global (re)insurance industries remained strong throughout the financial crisis in sharp contrast with banks
• Insurers avoided draconian outcomes in financial services reform
• Tort environment in US is beginning to deteriorate; no tort reform in US
• Major transformation of US economy underway with major opportunities for insurers through 2020 in health, tech, natural resources and energy

Demand for Energy and Commercial Insurance Have Been Impacted by Sluggish Economic Conditions
Recession began in Dec. 2007. Economic toll of credit crunch, housing slump, labor market
contraction has been severe but modest recovery is underway
The Q1:2009 decline was the steepest since the Q1:1982 drop of 6.4%
Economic growth up sharply in Q4:09 with rebuilding of
inventories and stimulus. More moderate growth expected in
2010/11

to contract sharply in late 2008 and plunged in 2009:Q1
2007:Q1 to 2011:Q4F (%)
End of Recession in mid-2009, Stimulus Program Benefited Industrial Production and Insurance Exposure Both Directly and Indirectly, Albeit it Very Modestly; Stimulus Effect is Waning in 2010 and Will Be Gone in 2011.

Recovery in Capacity Utilization Is a Positive Sign for Energy and Insurance

Hurricane Katrina
“Full Capacity”
The closer the economy is to operating at “full capacity,” the greater the demand
for both energy and insurance
Manufacturing capacity stood at 74.7% in May 2010, above the June 2009 low of 68.3% but well
below the pre-crisis peak of 80%+
Recession began December 2007

Auto/Light Truck Sales, 1999-2011F
Source: U.S. Department of Commerce; Blue Chip Economic Indicators (7/10); Insurance Information Institute.
New auto/light truck sales fell to the lowest level since the
late 1960s. Forecast for 2010-11 is still far below 1999-2007
average of 17 million units
Sharply lower auto sales will have a smaller effect on auto insurance
exposure level than problems in the housing market will on home insurers
“Cash for Clunkers” generated about $300M in net new personal auto premiums
(Millions of Units)
Car/Light Truck Sales Will Recover from the 2009 Low Point, but High Unemployment, Tight Credit Are Still Restraining Sales; Gas Prices Could Once Again Become a Factor, Too

Monthly Change Employment*
Job Losses Since the Recession Began in Dec. 2007 Peaked at 8.4 Mill in Dec. 09; Stands at 7.4 Million Through June 2010; 14.6 Million People are Now Defined as Unemployed
January 2008 through June 2010* (Thousands)
*Estimate based on Reuters poll of economists.Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics: http://www.bls.gov/ces/home.htm; Insurance Information Institute
Monthly losses in Dec. 08–Mar. 09 were the largest in the Post-WW II Period
May’s gain of 433,000 jobs was distorted by the hiring of 411,000 temporary Census workers. June’s loss of 125,000 jobs was distorted by the end of 225,000 Census jobs. Private sector
employment was up 41,000 in May and 83,000 in June.

Global Net Electricity Generation Is Growing Faster than Consumption
Sources: Energy Information Administration: International Energy Outlook 2009; Insurance Information Institute.
• Electricity generation is growing faster than total energy consumption
• This suggests that there is a net substitution away from other energy sources to electricity
• Implies a bright future for utilities
• Requires significant insurance capacity

Important Issues & Threats Facing Insurers: 2010–2015
• No tort reform (or protection of recent reforms) is forthcoming from the current Congress or Administration
• Erosion of recent reforms is a certainty (already happening)
• Innumerable legislative initiatives will create opportunities to undermine existing reforms and develop new theories and channels of liability
• Torts twice the overall rate of inflation
• Influence personal and commercial lines, esp. auto liability
• Historically extremely costly to p/c insurance industry
• Leads to reserve deficiency, rate pressure
Source: Insurance Information Institute
Bottom Line: Tort “crisis” is on the horizon and will be recognized as such by 2012–2014

• Reverse U.S. Supreme Court decisions on pleadings
• Eliminate pre-dispute arbitration
• Erode federal preemption
• Expand securities litigation
• Pass Foreign Manufactures Legal Accountability Act
• Grant enforcement authorities to state AGs
• Confirm pro-trial lawyer judges – “Federalize Madison County”
• Roll back existing legal reforms

Gulf Coast Near Deepwater Horizon Site
Sources: Energy Information Administration
On April 20, 2010, an explosion and
fire occurred on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon,
which had been drilling an
exploratory well in approx. 5,000 ft of water in the Gulf of Mexico, 52 miles SE
of Venice, Louisiana.
The platform subsequently sank,
with 11 crewmembers
presumed dead, and the
uncompleted well leaking oil.

Operating Group for Deepwater Horizon: Joint Venture
Mitsui Oil Exploration10%
Anadarko Petroleum25%
BP66%
Source: Barclays Capital research note 05/10/10; I.I.I. research.
The operating group for Deepwater Horizon is a joint venture led by BP.
BP has said it will assume liability for all “legitimate claims caused by the
oil spill.BP is self-insured, so large portion of
losses will not hit the insurance industry.
On June 1, 2010, U.S. Attorney General said federal authorities have
opened criminal and civil investigations into the spill.
As of early July, BP says that its costs have exceeded $3 billion, including $105 million paid on 32,000 claims. BP CEO Tony Hayward is insisting “Other parties besides BP may be responsible for
costs and liabilities arising from the oil spill, and we expect those parties to live up to their obligations.” But Anadarko accuses BP of gross negligence.

Insured Losses Significant, But Manageable
• The loss is a major event for the offshore energy insurance and reinsurance market
• Companies with direct exposure to the Deepwater Horizon oil rig are insured for losses totaling between $1.4 billion and $3.5 billion, according to initial reports
• The risks are well-syndicated, with the insured loss spread across a broad range of insurers and reinsurers on a global scale
• Since BP, which owns 65% of the Deepwater Horizon consortium self insures, a large portion of the losses will not hit the insurance industry.
• Lawsuits against equipment manufacturers, suppliers and sub-contractors, and business interruption claims, will likely increase total insured losses.
• BP said it will assume liability for all legitimate claims caused by the oil spill. Primary liability for clean up costs will be with BP consortium.

Long-Run Implications of Deepwater Horizon on Energy & Energy Insurance Markets
• Deepwater Horizon Will Become the Single Most Expensive Environmental Disaster in US History
• Reaction (and Overreaction) to Spill Will Have Multi-Decade Impact on Energy Business
– Impacts will not be confined to offshore oil & gas industry

Long-Run Implications of Deepwater Horizon on Energy & Energy Insurance Markets (cont’d)
• Current Administration’s Hostility Toward Some Energy Segments is Obvious and Politicization of Deepwater Incident Means There Are Potential Impacts On:
– Carbon legislation (cap & trade)
– Coal mining & equipment (not just in the US)
– Oil sands and pipeline project
– Utilities
– Nuclear power
– Alternative energy
– Fiscal policy/“stimulus”Source: Insurance Information Institute

Long-Run Implications of Deepwater Horizon: US Energy Policy Shift
• Danger that Deepwater Results in “Three Mile Island Effect”– Regulatory, political reaction could make future deep water drilling
impossible (logistically, economically)– Higher (unlimited) limits of financial responsibility– Drilling moratorium remains in effect despite impact on jobs, economy– CA, FL no longer willing to consider offshore drilling
• Hostility Toward Fossil Fuels Intensifies– More regulation (not necessarily based on facts or science)– Higher taxes on energy producers– Higher costs for consumers– Continued/higher subsidies for alternative fuels/technologies
