Agenda • Introduction • Basic loss development • Loss analysis • Cash flow comparisons of market quotes • Conclusion
Basic Loss Development • Purpose: To use the growth patterns of historical losses to predict ultimate losses on policy years that are still open and developing
Sources of Loss Development Factors • Industry-provided • Insurance carriers • Rating bureaus • Independent consultants • Actuaries • Organization-specific
Casualty Coverage’s • Workers’ compensation • Automobile liability • General liability • Products liability
Loss Development Triangles • Types of triangles • Incurred loss development • Paid loss development • Frequency loss development • Per occurrence retention • Limited • Unlimited
Incurred But Not Reported Claims • Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims caused by • Delay between occurrence and reporting of the claim • Actual amount for which a claim will settle is unknown • Indeterminate amount of time between a claims first report and when all activity on that claim ceases
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC = 24 month incurred losses 12 month incurred losses 578,368 402,087 = = 1.438
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC Average all policy years
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC Remove any “irregular” averages
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC Multiply each consecutive incremental average by the previous cumulative average 36 month cumulative average X 48 month incremental average 1.823 X 1.126 = 2.052
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC = 84 month cumulative avg. 24 month cumulative avg. 2.184 1.408 = = = 1.551
Sample Co. – Incurred Loss Triangulation - WC 1 / development factor = 1 / 2.184 = 45.8%
Discovery and Payout Patterns • General/products liability • Slowest patterns • Longest tail because of investigation, litigation, and time lag between report and occurrence date • Workers’ compensation • Payout increases steadily over time • Benefits are statutorily defined • Duration of injury and amount of medical treatment unknown
Discovery and Payout Patterns • Automobile liability • Relatively quick patterns • Relatively no lengthy litigation
Loss Analysis – Forecasting and Ultimate Liability Analysis • Ultimate liability projections • Adhere to FASB and GASB requirements regarding contingent liabilities • Loss forecasting • Part of the budgeting and marketing process
Sample Co. – WC Loss Forecast Excluded
Risk Financing • Determining the most cost-effective way to pay or fund for losses
Risk Financing Continuum Guaranteed Cost Large Deductible Qualified Self-Insurance Captive Risk Transfer Risk Retention
Large Deductible • Loss retention plan • Excess insurance covers losses above deductible • Positive cash flow • Ability to influence program costs • Access to insurer services • Collateral requirements • Tax deduction disadvantage
Qualified Self Insurance • Formalized retention program • Excess insurance purchased for losses exceeding limit • Qualification requirements vary by state • Positive cash flow • Ability to influence program costs • Unbundled services • Administrative requirements
Factors Influencing Design of Risk Financing Programs • Expected losses • Market conditions • Corporate philosophy • Risk control commitment • Financial position • Geographical locations • Loss payout patterns • Effective tax rate • Corporate ownership • Cash flow comparisons
Cash flow Comparisons • Definition: Using the net present value of alternative market quotes to determine the most cost-effective program
Present Value Analysis $ today is worth more than $ tomorrow because of investment income implications.
Investment Income • Fund losses at a discount, additional money will be added as interest is earned • Varied by program and payout • One decision tool to select the ideal program
Tax Implications • Need to consider when the losses and premium can be deducted from taxable income • Different programs are treated differently • Should involve corporate tax department
Costs Included • Expected losses • Primary and excess premiums • Claims handling • Taxes • Assessments • Loss Control • Broker fees • Collateral • Fronting costs • Residual market loads • Boards and bureaus • State funds
Case Study • Compare the net present value of the following programs • Guaranteed cost • Self-insurance
Sensitivity Analysis • How do optimistic and pessimistic loss projections alter the net present value decision of the various program alternatives?
In Conclusion… • Key Points • Loss development • Loss analysis • Cash flow comparisons • Questions
