These positive rating facrs are the result of Nationwide s capital management strategies, its multi-variant pricing model, strict underwriting guidelines, and diversified product mix distributed through various agency and other channels. The aforementioned rating facrs are partially offset by the group s varying underwriting performance in recent years, largely due the impact of severe weather-related and catastrophic events, despite their mitigation by a comprehensive reinsurance program and wide geographic diversification. In addition, Nationwide s underwriting expense ratio generally exceeds that of other personal lines carriers, primarily due a somewhat elevated level of commission expense. The group carries asbess and environmental (A&E) 2015 A.M. Best Company, Oldwick, NJ 08858 Printed June 22, 2015 www.ambest.com Page 1 of 12

reserves that unfavorably influenced older years loss reserve development. The group also remains susceptible competitive personal lines market conditions and regulary and legal decisions that could impact profitability. Despite underwriting losses in some recent years, the group s surplus and capitalization have shown consistent growth. However, management continues face challenges in the near term generate positive underwriting results that will further strengthen its capital position. Nationwide utilizes multiple distribution channels that include exclusive and independent agents, direct sales via telephone and the Internet, as well as directly marketing affinity groups. Management s business acquisition strategy has enabled the group increase its operating scale, provide solid platforms for running its agency distribution network and increase geographic and product diversification. The most recent such acquisition was Harleysville Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries in May 2012, whereby Harleysville Mutual was merged in Nationwide Mutual, and its seven subsidiary companies were added the Nationwide pooling agreement in January 2013. Regarding future rating movement, if negative underwriting trends continue, or there is material deterioration in risk-adjusted capitalization, downward rating pressure could occur.

As part of its plans significantly grow its property/casualty revenues, Nationwide continues leverage its multi-channel presence respond changing cusmer preferences. The group utilizes multiple access points attract new cusmers with acquisitions, such as the ALLIED companies and Nationwide Insurance Company of America. While offering new outlets cusmers, the group expects its exclusive and independent agents remain a key part of its growth strategy. Additional growth is planned by expanding existing distribution channels, comprised of exclusive and independent agents, in areas where Nationwide has little or no presence supplemented by using multiple access points, such as direct response, the Internet, and greater employer and affinity group endorsements of Nationwide products. In furtherance of this strategy, in January 2009, the group completed the privatization of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS), the intermediate parent holding company of its life insurance subsidiaries. The increased cultural alignment brought about by the privatization is expected strengthen the group s competitive position, facilitate a more integrated, focused cusmer-centric view and enhance delivery of Nationwide s On Your Side promise.

Additional stress tests are run consider various deficit in earnings scenarios. Catastrophe Exposure and Management: Nationwide underwrites and monirs its hurricane risk in a number of ways. Corporate underwriting guidelines are used in all coastal states, and state specific adjustments applied where permitted. Additionally, risk assessment ols may be employed in certain geographies for specific lines of business during the underwriting process. Hurricane modeling is performed semi-annually by a team of experienced catastrophe modeling professionals in the group s Product and Pricing Risk Management Department. Additional modeling, including for other perils such as rnado/hail, earthquake and winter freeze, is performed throughout the year as required, for purposes such as concentration and exposure management, pricing applications, strategic analysis, and relativity modeling. In all cases, coastal exposure levels are managed and monired monthly ensure compliance with established target levels. Policy provision management, including the use of minimum wind/hurricane deductibles where permitted, are also employed extensively. OPERATING PERFORMANCE Operating Results: Nationwide s earnings fluctuated over the past five years due underwriting losses, interest rate fluctuations and the variability of its affiliated investments. The group s average five-year pre-tax operating and tal returns on revenue lagged the composite. Total returns have been somewhat influenced by variability in unrealized capital gains/losses on the group s common sck portfolio and its affiliated investments, primarily NFS. Operating results reflect management s adherence strict underwriting principles and increased rates, primarily on its personal lines book of business. Consequently, earnings in the group s core lines of business improved as rate increases developed through earned premiums. Management also implemented underwriting and agency management strategies that included re-underwriting initiatives, risk segmentation and technological enhancements that were designed sustain positive underwriting results. In addition, the group continued expand its cusmer access points, diversify its spread of risk the Midwest and western portions of the U.S. and re-focused on its core competencies. However, earnings were impacted by the additional, albeit declining level of, A&E reserving performed in each of the past five years, and more notably by the significant underwriting losses suffered from the frequent and severe weather-related losses over the same time. The group s diversified fixed-income portfolio produced average five-year pre-tax investment yields and tal investment returns that were comparable the composite and a robust stream of investment income that has offset underwriting losses in three of the past five years. In addition, while realized capital gains have minimally supported operating earnings over the past five years, significant unrealized losses were reported in 2012. Nationwide s common scks and sizable affiliated holdings somewhat limited its average return on invested assets, and the volatility in the value of its NFS ownership impacted capitalization over the past five years. 2015 A.M.

Investment Results: Nationwide s invested asset base generates a reliable stream of investment income that helped offset the tal underwriting losses reported in three of the past five years. Pre-tax investment yields and tal investment returns were impacted by the group s substantial holdings of fixed income securities and the level of affiliated investments and slightly lagged the composite average of the past five years. The group s investment portfolio primarily consists of high-quality bonds followed by affiliated investments and real estate and mortgages. Affiliated investments represent approximately 20% of invested assets, primarily due the group s ownership of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS), the intermediate holding company of its life insurance subsidiaries. Investment income has been significant but variable since 2010 due financial market conditions coupled with the lower invested asset base following the funding of the NFS privatization, with a high point of $1.1 billion in 2012.

This capital position reflects the equity embedded in Nationwide s unearned premium and loss reserves offset slightly by its moderate underwriting and investment leverage positions. Comprehensive reinsurance coverage and a surplus note program help maintain Nationwide s net, after-tax probable maximum loss (PML) expected arise from a 100-year hurricane event less than 10% of reported policyholders surplus. In prior years, the group s surplus was adversely impacted by realized and unrealized capital losses on both affiliated and unaffiliated equity holdings; however, improved operating performance and capital gains produced increases in surplus in three of the past five years. The 2010 surplus increase was driven primarily by operating income and capital investment gains, and slight declines were noted in 2011 and 2012 mainly due weather related losses. Surplus grew by over 4% in 2013 due improvement in operating performance, and over 3% in 2014 due mainly investment income and unrealized investment gains.. Nationwide Mutual currently has five surplus notes outstanding with an aggregate value of $2.2 billion, the proceeds of which were used fund new business growth and for other general business purposes. Nationwide Mutual may consider issuing additional notes and/or establish other contingent note programs in support of the group s ongoing insurance operations.

NIC s runoff A&E operations and NICOF s largely unfavorable loss maturation adversely affected the overall group s loss development; however, their impact has declined in recent years. Ongoing operations resulted in the reporting of some adverse development over the past three years. According A.M. Best s estimates, Nationwide Group ranks among the p five insurers in the nation with an approximate 2.2% hisrical market share in commercial lines that are exposed ongoing A&E claims emergence. Much of Nationwide s potential A&E liability exposure stems from policies assumed through various reinsurance agreements and from a former affiliate. On December 31, 1998, Nationwide Indemnity assumed loss and loss adjustment expense (LAE) reserves taling $2 billion as a result of two loss portfolio transfers. First, the company assumed from the Wausau Companies, liability for all losses and LAE related its discontinued operations taling nearly $1.4 billion, including A&E reserves of approximately $646 million. In addition, the company assumed from Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company liability for all losses and LAE related business Nationwide Mutual assumed from National Casualty Company, an affiliate, and certain other assumed contracts as defined in the reinsurance contract. The tal amount transferred, which is primarily reserves for A&E claims, was approximately $676 million. Assumption of these two portfolios established Nationwide Indemnity as the runoff entity for Nationwide s discontinued operations. Management continues closely monir its A&E loss development; however, in light of the ongoing litigation surrounding A&E claims, the potential for further adverse development remains.

Liquidity: All of Nationwide s measures of liquidity (the quick, current and overall ratios) lagged the composite average over the past five years. However, liquidity was enhanced by the positive operating cash flows reported in four of the last five years. The group s invested assets are predominantly held in the form of fixed-income securities that provide an adequate rate of return and with maturities that closely match the expected payout of losses and expenses. In addition, Nationwide Mutual could potentially issue surplus notes and/or establish contingent note programs, should the need arise.
