4 Section I Homeowner s Insurance The Big Picture 3

5 Homeowner s Insurance Environment The Big Four have combined to put pressure on insurers nationwide 1. The Recession 2. Policyholder Aggression 3. Low investment returns 4. Reinsurance Costs

6 Homeowner s Insurance Environment 1. The Recession Yes it s over, but..top line is still down First ever three-year decline in net premiums

7 Homeowner s Insurance Environment 2. Policyholder aggression Example: Hurricane Wilma (Florida landfall 10/24/05) FHCF Loss Reports (as of 2/28/10) New Claim Reports since July 2008 = $505 million New Claims Reports by Quarter Q3/08 = $ 61 million Q4/08 = $158 million Q1/09 = $ 49 million Q2/09 = $ 74 million Q3/09 = $ 56 million Q4/09 = $ 83 million Q1/10 = $ 42 million New Claims in 2009 = $262 million New Claims in last 12 months = $281 million New Claim Reports in 2010 = $42 million

18 FHCF The Bottom Line The FHCF has substantial liquid resources of approximately $9.5 billion available to it for the 2010 storm season These resources would enable the FHCF to avoid bonding after most events, and would provide a time cushion before bonding was required after a large event. If bonding is required, the FHCF would not need to access the markets all at once in order to meet its reimbursement obligations. The probability of storm losses exceeding these liquid resources is approximately 4.7% for The FHCF is a highly rated and proven issuer with long-term debt ratings of Aa3/AA-/AA -- and improved market conditions have further strengthened its bonding capability

26 State Comparison Analysis Notes Homeowners Premiums Notes: Based on the HO 3 policy for owner occupied dwellings, 1 to 4 family units. Provides all risks coverage (except those specifically excluded in the policy) on buildings and broad named peril coverage on personal property, and is the most common policy written. Florida data exclude policies written by Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Average premium=premiums/exposure per house years. A house year is equal to 365 days of insured coverage for a single dwelling. The NAIC does not rank state average expenditures and does not endorse any conclusions drawn from this data. Auto Premium Notes: The state combined average premium per insured vehicle is calculated by summing the average premiums paid for liability, comprehensive and collision coverages. Aggregate written premiums and aggregate written exposures are used in calculations with no distinction as to policyholder classifications, vehicle characteristics or the selection of specific limits or deductibles. Nor do the results consider differences in state auto and tort laws, rate filing laws, traffic conditions or other demographics. CAUTION: Because of these differences, direct comparisons between state results would be misleading. Tax Notes: Information from the Tax Foundation based on calculations from data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, the Council on State Taxation, the Travel Industry Association, Department of Energy, and others. Data Sources: Tax information for 2008 from the Tax Foundation org/taxdata/show/336 html Insurance premium data: Most recently reported premium data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) as of Income data: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, based on the 2 year median average from 2007 to
