    Highlights for the quarter included:

    • Underwriting income(1) of $62.2 million on a combined ratio(1) of 84.5.
    • Gross premiums written were flat and net investment income increased 16%.
    • Favorable development in prior years' loss reserves resulted in a $24.4 million net increase in underwriting income.
    • Book value per share of $18.89, an increase of 16% (inclusive of dividends) from year-end 2024.

    "RLI delivered solid earnings and continued book value growth in the second quarter," said RLI Corp. President & CEO Craig Kliethermes. "We posted an 85 combined ratio, underscoring our underwriting discipline in a highly competitive market. Investment income increased as we put operating cash flow to work in a favorable interest rate environment. Collectively, these results contributed to a 16% increase in book value since year-end 2024. These achievements reflect the strength of our team and their commitment to driving sustained value and long-term profitable growth."

    Underwriting Income

    RLI achieved $62.2 million of underwriting income in the second quarter of 2025 on an 84.5 combined ratio, compared to $70.0 million on an 81.5 combined ratio in 2024.

    Dividends Paid in Second Quarter of 2025

    On June 20, 2025, the company paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share, a $0.01 increase over the prior quarter. RLI's cumulative dividends total more than $971 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 2025 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.
