(1)
The decline in 2016 primarily relates to the Assurant Health wind-down and the sale of our Assurant Employee Benefits segment.
(2)
Included in net realized gains are other-than-temporary impairments of $6,874, $5,024, $30, $4,387 and $1,843 for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3)
The decline in 2016 primarily relates to lower losses from Assurant Health and only two months of results of AEB prior to its sale. 2016 includes $157,437 of reportable catastrophe losses primarily related to Hurricane Matthew and flooding. 2015 includes higher loss experience and adverse claim development on 2015 individual major medical policies. During 2012, we incurred losses of $250,206, net of reinsurance, mainly associated with Superstorm Sandy. Reportable catastrophe losses include only individual catastrophic events that generated losses to the Company in excess of $5,000, pre-tax and net of reinsurance.
(4)
Policy liabilities include future policy benefits and expenses, unearned premiums and claims and benefits payable.
(5)
Total stockholders’ equity divided by the basic shares outstanding for book value per basic share calculation. At December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012 there were 56,660,642, 66,606,258, 70,276,896, 72,982,023 and 79,866,858 shares, respectively, outstanding.
