1.Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation:
----------------------------------------------
The accompanying consolidated summary financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as described in
the Corporation's latest annual report to shareholders or as disclosed herein.
The financial accounting and reporting process relies on estimates and on the
exercise of judgement, but in the opinion of management all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to a fair presentation of
the accompanying statements have been reflected therein. Realized gains or
losses on dispositions of investment securities have been reflected in the
operating results for each period presented.
2.Common Share Data:
------------------
Earnings per share have been calculated on the basis of average common and
common equivalent shares outstanding for the quarters and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994. Retroactive adjustment has been made for all
stock dividends and splits declared through September 30, 1995. Primary
earnings per share calculations give effect to the deduction of dividend
requirements applicable to preferred stock of $1.2 and $3.7 for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively and $1.3 and $3.9 for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively. Fully
diluted earnings per share are similarly calculated, after taking into account
substantially all convertible securities and options includable for each
period.
Common shares outstanding were 52,158,931 at September 30, 1995 after
elimination of 4,439,267 shares issued and outstanding, which are held by a
consolidated affiliate. These shares are classified as treasury stock for
financial accounting purposes only.
3.Unrealized Appreciation of Investments:
---------------------------------------
Cumulative net unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for
sale and equity securities credited to a separate account in common
shareholders' equity amounted to $40.8 at September 30, 1995. Unrealized
appreciation of investments, before applicable income taxes of $21.0, at
September 30, 1995 included gross unrealized gains and (losses) of $67.5
and $(5.6), respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments, net of deferred income taxes,
amounted to $51.2 and $(29.7), respectively.

OLD REPUBLIC INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
This analysis pertains to the consolidated accounts of Old Republic
International Corporation. The Company conducts its business through four
major segments, namely its General (property and liability coverages), Title,
Mortgage Guaranty, and Life insurance groups.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Old Republic's financial position at September 30, 1995 reflected increases in
assets of 4.6%, liabilities of 2.3%, and common shareholders' equity of 13.4%
when compared to the immediately preceding year-end. Cash and invested assets
represented 64.9% and 62.4% of consolidated assets as of September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, respectively. Relatively high short-term maturity investment
positions continued to be maintained as of September 30, 1995 to provide
necessary liquidity for specific operating needs and to enhance flexibility in
investment strategy. Changes in short-term investments reflect a large variety
of seasonal and intermediate-term factors including seasonal operating cash
needs, investment strategy, and expectations as to trends in interest yields.
Accordingly, the future level of short-term investments will vary and respond to
to the dynamics of these factors and may, as a result, increase or decrease from
current levels. During the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation committed
substantially all investable funds in short to intermediate-term fixed maturity
securities. Old Republic continues to adhere to its long-term policy of
investing primarily in investment grade, marketable securities; the Corporation
has not directed its investable funds to so-called "junk bonds" or derivative
types of securities. During the first nine months of 1995, Old Republic's
commitment to equity securities decreased by 29.3% vis-a-vis the related
invested balance at year-end 1994. As of September 30, 1995, the carrying value
of fixed maturity securities in default as to principal or interest was
immaterial in relation to conoslidated assets or shareholders' equity.
Consolidated operations produced positive cash flows in the first nine months of
1995. The parent holding company has met its liquidity and capital needs
principally through dividends paid by its subsidiaries. The insurance
subsidiaries' ability to pay cash dividends to the parent company is generally
restricted by law or subject to approval of the insurance regulatory authorities
of the states in which they are domiciled. Additionally, the terms of guarantees
by the Company of bank loans to the trustee of the Company's Employees Savings
and Stock Ownership Plan require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated
tangible net worth and restrict the amount of debt the Company may incur, both
of which covenants are being met.
Old Republic's capitalization of $1.88 billion at September 30, 1995 consisted
of debt and debt equivalents of $308.6 million, redeemable convertible preferred
stock of $17.3 million (excluding $11.7 million of such stock classified as a
debt equivalent), convertible preferred stock of $.6 million, cumulative
preferred stock of $54.8 million, and common shareholders' equity of $1.50
billion. The increase in the common shareholders' equity account during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 reflects primarily the retention of earnings in
excess of dividends declared on outstanding preferred and common shares and an
increase during the first nine months of 1995 in the value of bonds and stocks
carried at market value. During 1994, the Corporation acquired $8.5 million of
its common stock and $2.6 million of its cumulative preferred stock in open
market transactions. In the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation acquired
an additional $.9 million of its common stock. As of September 30, 1995, a
standing authorization by the Company's Board of Directors permits it to
reacquire additional amounts of such shares for a total of up to $38.0 million
through May 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues:
Net premiums and fees earned in the first nine months of 1995 amounted to $1.00
billion and were 6.6% below the amount reported for the first nine months of
1994. For the third quarter of 1995, net premiums and fees earned amounted to
$345.7 million and were 1.2% above the amount reported for the third quarter of
1994. For the third quarter of 1995, the Company's General Insurance Group
posted an increase in premium revenues due to varying levels of growth in
certain parts of the Company's business, but principally among liability
coverages. Title Group premium and fee revenues decreased in the third quarter
of 1995 when compared to the third quarter of 1994; depressed conditions in the
large California housing market in particular, and the near absence of
refinancing activity contributed to a decline in mortgage originations. Growth
in the Mortgage Guaranty Group was enhanced by continued expansion of this
gorup's marketing territory and from higher volume driven by lower mortgage
rates.
<PAGE>
8
The General Insurance Group's net premiums earned decreased 1.5% to $637.8
million in the first nine months of 1995. The Title Insurance Group reported
premiums and fees in the first nine months of $219.2 million, down from $304.7
million in the year-ago period. The Mortgage Guaranty Group continued to
experience double-digit growth in production and reported net premiums earned
of $121.6 million, an increase of 23.7%. For the year's third quarter, premium
and fees grew (declined) by 2.2% for general insurance, (7.7%) for title
insurance and 22.9% for mortgage guaranty. Life and health premiums remained
flat in the first nine months of 1995, but decreased 13.3% for the third quarter
1995 when compared to the same year-ago period.
Consolidated net investment income was $186.0 million in the first nine months
of 1995 and $62.4 million in the third quarter of 1995 compared to $167.2
million and $56.8 million, respectively, in the same quarter and nine month
period of 1994. The higher revenue from this source is attributable to positive
cash flow in addition to improved market yields for fixed-maturity securities.
Equities made up about 4.5% of the investment portfolio at the end of the first
nine months of 1995 compared to 6.8% one year ago. The average annualized yield
on investments was 6.2% and 6.1% at the end of September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
The Company's investment policies have not been designed to maximize realized
investment gains. Realized gains of $20.2 million and $25.9 million reported in
the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1995, respectively, are due
to the sale of equity securities. Dispositions of fixed maturity securities
have, as in recent periods, been caused principally by: (1) calls prior to
maturity by issuers, (2) a desire to extend moderately the average life of the
portfolio, and (3) the Company's ongoing process of continually monitoring its
investments with a view toward maximizing the quality ratings and
diversification of its portfolio. For the first nine months of 1995,
approximately 77% of total dispositions represented maturities and early calls
of existing holdings; for the year 1994 these transactions amounted to
approximately 64%.
Expenses:
Consolidated benefit, claim and settlement costs, as a percentage of net
premiums and fees earned, were approximately 55% and 54% in the first nine
months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. For the third quarter of each year
these ratios were 54% in 1995 and 53% in 1994. Claims experience for property
and liability coverages improved in both periods due in part to reduced losses
from involuntary pool assessments. The Mortgage Guaranty claim costs increased
for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 due in
part to a rise in mortgage delinquencies, while the Title and Life insurance
segments benefited from generally lower claim provisions.
The ratio of consolidated underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses to
net premiums and fees earned were 44% and 47% in the first nine months of 1995
and 1994, respectively. These ratios were 43% and 47% for the third quarters of
1995 and 1994, respectively. Variations in these percentages between
comparative periods typically reflect changing patterns in the mix of business
and the varyingproduction costs pertaining thereto.
Income from Operations:
Income from operations before realized investment gains, taxes and other items
increased by 19.9% in the first nine months of 1995 when compared to the same
period one year ago; for the third quarter of 1995, income from operations
increased by 27.3% when compared to the same quarter in 1994. The Corporation's
General, Mortgage Guaranty and Life insurance segments reflected higher pre-tax
operating earnings. The Title insurance segment posted a pre-tax operating loss
for the first nine months of 1995 while reporting pre-tax operating earnings in
the third quarter of 1995 for the aforementioned reasons.
The effective consolidated income tax rate was 32% in the first nine months of
1995 and 1994, respectively and 32% and 33% in the third quarters of 1995 and
1994, respectively. The rates for each period reflect primarily the varying
proportions of pre-tax operating income derived from tax-sheltered investment
income (principally tax-exempt interest) on the one hand, and fully taxable
investment and underwriting/service income on the other hand.
OTHER INFORMATION
Historical data pertaining to the operating results, liquidity, and other
financial matters applicable to an insurance enterprise such as the Company are
not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved in succeeding years. The
long-term nature of the insurance business, seasonal and annual patterns in
premium production and incidence of claims, changes in yields obtained on
invested assets, changes in government policies and free markets affecting
inflation rates and general economic conditions, and changes in legal precedents
or the application of law affecting the settlement of disputed claims are some
of the factors which have a bearing on quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year
comparisons and future operating results.
