Markel Q4 2022 Earnings Report
Markel Corporation reported a net loss for Q4 2022 due to net investment losses, but insurance and Markel Ventures operations showed positive operating income.
Key Takeaways
Markel Corporation reported its Q4 2022 financial results, revealing a complex picture with strong operating performance in its insurance and Markel Ventures segments overshadowed by significant net investment losses. While the insurance engine demonstrated growth and underwriting profitability, and Markel Ventures achieved record revenues and operating income, the company's overall net income was negatively impacted by declines in the fair value of equity and bond portfolios.
Earned premiums grew by 17% reflecting continued growth in premium volume from new business.
Markel Ventures' operating revenues and operating income increased, driven by recent acquisitions and organic growth.
Net investment losses were primarily due to decreases in the fair value of the equity portfolio.
The combined ratio was 92% compared to 90% in the prior year, reflecting the impact of less favorable development on prior years loss reserves.
