    Other Income

    Net investment income for the quarter increased 18.0% to $34.0 million, compared to the same period in 2023. The investment portfolio's total return was 0.9% for the quarter and 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

    RLI's comprehensive earnings were $74.1 million for the quarter ($1.61 per share), compared to $57.9 million ($1.26 per share) for the same quarter in 2023. In addition to net earnings, comprehensive earnings included after-tax unrealized losses from the fixed income portfolio, due to rising interest rates.

    Dividends Paid in Second Quarter of 2024

    On June 20, 2024, the company paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share, a $0.02 increase over the prior quarter. RLI's cumulative dividends total more than $819 million paid over the last five years.

    Non-GAAP and Performance Measures

    Management has included certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in presenting the company's results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures further explain the company's results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company's business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.

    Operating earnings and operating earnings per share (EPS) consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and operating EPS. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and operating EPS to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2024 financial highlights below.

    Underwriting income or profit represents the pretax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses from net premium earned, which are all GAAP financial measures. The combined ratio, which is derived from components of underwriting income, is a performance measure commonly used by property and casualty insurance companies and is calculated as the sum of loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned, which are all GAAP measures.
