Below is an explanation of reclassifications effecting the Health and P&C segments:

  • Health: As of 2022 Q1 financials, the Health segment reclassified earnings within the segment's internal breakdown, primarily between underwriting and investment income due to the use of a 3% real return for the LAT (Liability Adequacy Test) reserve for the individual long-term care activity (consistent with the use of 3% real returns across other activities)
  • P&C: As of 2022 Q2 financials, part of the UGL (Unrealized Gains and Losses) component of P&C underwriting profit was categorized as interest rate effects

For consistency, comparative figures were reclassified as well

Below is a summary of the impact of the reclassification on 2021 income, showing the figures before and after reclassification:
