THE TRAVELERS COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Travelers Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company). These financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the Company’s 2025 Annual Report).
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and claims and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that the Company changes its accounting for, or presentation of, items in the financial statements, the presentation of such amounts in prior periods is changed to conform to the current period presentation, if appropriate, and disclosed, if material.
On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Canadian personal insurance business and the majority of its Canadian commercial insurance business to Definity Financial Corporation for approximately US$2.4 billion. The assets and liabilities of the Canadian personal insurance business and the majority of its Canadian commercial insurance business were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. The Company retained its surety business in Canada. The sale closed on January 2, 2026.
The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | ||||||||
| Assets | ||||||||
| Fixed maturities, available for sale, at fair value | $ | 3,243 | ||||||
| Premiums receivable | 263 | |||||||
| Reinsurance recoverables | 285 | |||||||
| Goodwill | 208 | |||||||
| Remaining assets held for sale | 551 | |||||||
| Total assets held for sale | $ | 4,550 | ||||||
| Liabilities | ||||||||
| Claims and claim adjustment expense reserves | $ | 1,909 | ||||||
| Unearned premium reserves | 514 | |||||||
| Remaining liabilities held for sale | 119 | |||||||
| Total liabilities held for sale | $ | 2,542 |
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on the accounting for internal-use software costs. The updated guidance removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and allows for the application of iterative software development methods such as agile. The updated guidance requires that an entity capitalize software costs when both: 1) management has authorized and committed to the funding of the software project, and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform its intended function. Additionally, the updated guidance clarifies that internal and external training costs and maintenance costs must be expensed as incurred.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2028, and can be applied on a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In May 2026, the FASB issued updated guidance on the accounting for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. Under the updated guidance, an entity is required to recognize an environmental credit as an asset when it is probable that the environmental credit will be: 1) used to settle an environmental credit obligation, 2) transferred in an exchange transaction, or 3) used in a nonreciprocal transfer. The costs to obtain all other environmental credits are expensed when incurred (for example, environmental credits acquired to satisfy a voluntary net zero emission initiative). The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2028, and is applied on a retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 represented less than 1% of the fixed maturity portfolio on a pre-tax basis and less than 1% of shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis.
Other Investments
Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a quarter lag basis.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
-
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
-
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
-
Level 3 - Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.
Valuation of Investments Reported at Fair Value in Financial Statements
The Company utilized a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 99% of its fixed maturities as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
While the vast majority of the Company’s fixed maturities are included in Level 2, the Company holds a number of corporate bonds which are not valued by the pricing service and estimates the fair value of these bonds using either another internal pricing matrix, a present value income approach or a broker quote (collectively, the other methodologies). The other methodologies include some unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Due to the limited amount of observable market information available in the estimation of fair value, the Company includes the fair value estimates for bonds that are valued using the other methodologies in Level 3.
For certain investments in non-public common and preferred equity securities, the fair value estimate is determined either internally or by an external fund manager based on the impact of recent observable transactions on the investment, recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growth and other business and market sector fundamentals. Due to the significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company included the fair value estimate of $30 million and $32 million for these investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, in the amounts disclosed in Level 3.
For more information regarding the valuation of the Company’s fixed maturities, equity securities and other investments, see note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The following tables present the level within the fair value hierarchy at which the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2025 totaled $79 million, primarily driven by better than expected loss experience in the workers’ compensation product line for multiple accident years, partially offset by an addition to reserves related to run-off operations.

14. LEASES
The Company enters into lease agreements for real estate that is primarily used for office space in the ordinary course of business. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, whereby lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and a right-of-use asset and lease liability is recognized as part of other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.
Most leases include an option to extend or renew the lease term. The exercise of the renewal option is at the Company’s discretion. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising those options. The Company, in determining the present value of lease payments, utilizes either the rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable, or the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the underlying lease.
Lease expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Additional information regarding the Company’s real estate operating leases is as follows:

15. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
Contingencies
The major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties is subject are described below.
Asbestos Claims and Litigation
In the ordinary course of its insurance business, the Company has received and continues to receive claims for insurance arising under policies issued by the Company asserting alleged injuries and damages from asbestos-related exposures that are the subject of related coverage litigation. The Company is defending asbestos-related litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses; however, the outcomes of these disputes are uncertain. In this regard, the Company employs dedicated specialists and comprehensive resolution strategies to manage asbestos loss exposure, including settling litigation under appropriate circumstances. Currently, it is not possible to predict legal outcomes and their impact on future loss development for claims and litigation relating to asbestos claims. Any such development could be affected by future court decisions and interpretations, as well as future changes, if any, in applicable legislation. Because of these uncertainties, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the Company’s current insurance reserves. In addition, the Company’s estimate of ultimate

claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or changes in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s results of operations in future periods.
Other Proceedings Not Arising Under Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Agreements
The Company is involved in other lawsuits, including lawsuits alleging extra-contractual damages relating to insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements, that do not arise under insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements. The legal costs associated with such lawsuits are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Based upon currently available information, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any such lawsuit or related lawsuits would be material to the Company’s results of operations or would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity.
Other Commitments and Guarantees
Commitments
Unfunded Commitments — The Company has unfunded commitments to private equity limited partnerships, real estate partnerships and other parties. These commitments totaled $1.55 billion and $1.41 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Guarantees
The maximum amount of the Company’s contingent obligation for indemnifications related to the sale of businesses that are quantifiable was $352 million as of June 30, 2026.
The maximum amount of the Company’s obligation related to the guarantee of certain insurance policy obligations of a former insurance subsidiary was $480 million as of June 30, 2026, all of which is indemnified by a third party. For more information regarding the Company’s guarantees, see note 17 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.
16. NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The Company issued common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 in connection with its stock compensation plan which resulted in noncash financing transactions totaling $42 million and $41 million, respectively, from the net share settlement of employee stock options.
