Investment and Balance Sheet Highlights
Fourth Quarter Improves Full-Year Results Steven J. Johnston, chairman, president and chief executive officer, commented: "Spring storms in the Midwest, hurricanes in the Southeast and wildfires in the West: across our country, weather-related catastrophes were relentless in 2020. In the midst of a global pandemic, our experienced claims professionals rose to the occasion, responding quickly and compassionately.
"We finished the year with a fourth-quarter catastrophe loss impact that was 2.1 percentage points higher than our fourth-quarter 10-year average. Despite that increase, we were able to improve our quarterly combined ratio by 4.3 points compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. A fourth-quarter combined ratio of 87.3% improved our combined ratio from 101.8% at nine months to 98.1% for the full-year. Underwriting profit increased 57% for the quarter and helped us earn a 2020 full-year amount of $119 million.
"This year, it was more important than ever to keep our attention centered on our proven strategies to enhance the profitability of our core book of business. To look through the noise caused by catastrophes or inherent variability in updating estimates for loss reserves, we track our underwriting results before catastrophe losses and before development of reserves for prior accident years. That measure improved from a year ago, by a satisfying 4.2%, to 87.7% for the year."
Focused on Growth"A steady rise in renewal premiums led the way to what we believe will again be net written premium growth ahead of the industry average. We successfully managed commercial lines pricing, improving it as the year progressed to see average increases in the mid-single-digit percent range in the fourth quarter. We also have an advantage in our three-year commercial package policy, which reduces administrative burdens for agents and policyholders and supports commercial lines retention as the market firms.
"Our personal lines operations saw 5% growth in net written premiums for both the quarter and the full year. As we introduced greater pricing precision in more states through the rollout of The Cincinnati Casualty Company, our agents responded with enthusiasm, increasing new business premiums written by 25% for the quarter and 10% for the year.
"The pandemic put a spotlight on the importance of life insurance, and we were able to support agencies in providing a total account solution for their clients through The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company. Strong renewal premiums drove a 7% increase in full-year 2020 earned premiums, including a 6% increase for term life insurance.
"Remaining focused on geographic and product diversification, more recent additions to our insurance portfolio also contributed: the excess and surplus lines segment increased its net written premiums 15% for the year while Cincinnati Global Underwriting Ltd.SM and Cincinnati Re® each contributed 1% to overall growth in 2020."
Confidence in the Future"Positive contributions from both our insurance operations and investment performance increased our book value nearly 11% to a record $67.04 per share at December 31, 2020. We finished the year with a value creation ratio of 14.7%, ahead of our long-term objective of a 10% to 13% annual average.
"Achieving these positive results in a year that brought a global pandemic, a record number of catastrophe events and historically low interest rates, demonstrates the strength of our relationships with the independent agents who represent us, the mastery demonstrated by our associates in underwriting on an account by account basis and the benefits realized by our dedication to data and analytics. We believe more opportunities lie ahead to deliver meaningful shareholder value into the future as we continue to serve agents and their communities."

Definitions of Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation to Comparable GAAP Measures(See attached tables for reconciliations; additional prior-period reconciliations available at cinfin.com/investors.)
Cincinnati Financial Corporation prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules for insurance company regulation in the United States of America as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners'(NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data.
Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its primary business areas – property casualty insurance, life insurance and investments. Management uses these measures when analyzing both GAAP and non-GAAP results to improve its understanding of trends in the underlying business and to help avoid incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions about the success or failure of company strategies. Management adjustments to GAAP measures generally: apply to non-recurring events that are unrelated to business performance and distort short-term results; involve values that fluctuate based on events outside of management's control; supplement reporting segment disclosures with disclosures for a subsidiary company or for a combination of subsidiaries or reporting segments; or relate to accounting refinements that affect comparability between periods, creating a need to analyze data on the same basis.
