Safety Insurance Q2 profit rises, sale to Mapfre
Safety Insurance Group reported stronger second quarter 2026 results while also agreeing to be acquired.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Safety Insurance Group reported stronger second quarter 2026 results while also agreeing to be acquired. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net income was $34.5 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, up from $28.9 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, a year earlier. The combined ratio improved to 95.7% from 98.1% as net earned premiums rose to $291.7 million from $282.1 million and non‑GAAP operating income reached $2.03 per diluted share. Book value per share was $59.70 at June 30, 2026, down from $60.98 at December 31, 2025.
For the first six months of 2026, net income fell to $20.2 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, from $50.8 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, and the combined ratio rose to 104.5%, largely reflecting two severe winter weather events. The Board approved a $0.92 per share quarterly cash dividend payable September 15, 2026. Separately, Safety entered a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of Mapfre S.A. will acquire the company in an all‑cash transaction valued at approximately $1.54 billion, with shareholders to receive $105 per share, a 44% premium to the July 23, 2026 stock price.
Positive
- Mapfre all-cash acquisition at $105 per share values Safety at approximately $1.54 billion and represents a 44% premium to the company’s July 23, 2026 stock price, indicating a materially favorable takeout valuation for existing shareholders.
- Q2 2026 profitability strengthened, with net income rising to $34.5 million from $28.9 million and the combined ratio improving to 95.7% from 98.1%, reflecting better underwriting performance and rate actions.
- The Board approved a recurring capital return via a $0.92 per share quarterly cash dividend, payable September 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2026.
Negative
- Year-to-date profitability weakened, as net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 declined to $20.2 million from $50.8 million and the combined ratio deteriorated to 104.5% from 98.8%, driven by two severe winter weather events.
- Top-line and policy counts softened: direct written premiums for the first half of 2026 edged down to $641.6 million from $644.8 million and policy counts fell 8.8% in Private Passenger Automobile and 4.0% in Homeowners.
Filing Explained
The acquisition remains proposed, not completed: Safety plans to file a proxy for a special meeting to seek stockholder approval, so shareholders would receive the disclosed cash consideration only if the transaction is approved and completed.

Exhibit 99.1
SAFETY INSURANCE GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS AND DECLARES THIRD QUARTER 2026 DIVIDEND
Boston, Massachusetts, August 5, 2026. Safety Insurance Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAFT) (“Safety” or the “Company”) today reported second quarter 2026 results.
George M. Murphy, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I’m pleased to announce that for quarter ended June 30, 2026, our combined ratio improved to 95.7% compared to 98.1% in the same period in the prior year. The combined ratio of 95.7% reflects the impact of our underwriting discipline and ongoing pricing strategy. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $34.5 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.9 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, for the comparable 2025 period. The increase in net income reflects the impact of strong written premium growth in prior years earning into top-line revenue, as well as the ongoing impact of pricing actions.
Also, on July 23, 2026, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of Mapfre S.A. (“Mapfre”) will acquire Safety in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.54 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Safety shareholders will receive $105 for each Safety common share in cash, which represents a premium of 44% on Safety’s stock price as of July 23, 2026. This transaction represents an exceptional outcome for our shareholders and an exciting new chapter for Safety. Throughout our history, we have built a company defined by strong underwriting, deep relationships with agents and clients, and an unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. Mapfre shares our long-term vision, our insurance culture, and our commitment to serving clients. Together, we will be even better positioned to invest in our people, strengthen our capabilities, expand our product offering, and continue delivering the high-quality service our clients and distribution partners expect from Safety.”
Second Quarter 2026 Results and Recent Developments
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $34.5 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.9 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, for the comparable 2025 period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $20.2 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $50.8 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, for the comparable 2025 period. Non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) operating income, as defined below, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $2.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.45 per diluted share for the comparable 2025 period. Non-GAAP operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.33 per diluted share compared to $2.74 per diluted share for the comparable 2025 period.
Safety’s book value per share decreased to $59.70 at June 30, 2026 from $60.98 at December 31, 2025, primarily due to underwriting losses incurred during the first quarter of 2026, as well as decreases in the value of our fixed maturity portfolio. Safety paid $0.92 per share in dividends to investors during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.90 for the comparable 2025 period. Safety paid $3.64 per share in dividends to investors during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Today, our Board of Directors approved a $0.92 per share quarterly cash dividend on our issued and outstanding common stock payable on September 15, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2026.
Direct written premiums for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $4.0 million, or 1.2%, to $341.8 million from $345.8 million for the comparable 2025 period. Direct written premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $3.2 million, or 0.5%, to $641.6 million from $644.8 million for the comparable 2025 period. Net written premiums for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $6.0 million, or 1.9%, to $313.5 million from $319.5 million for the comparable 2025 period. Net written premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $5.4 million, or 0.9%, to $588.9 million from $594.3 million for the comparable 2025 period.
The decreases in direct written premiums and net written premiums are primarily due to the cancellation of certain underperforming agency relationships. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company experienced policy count declines of 8.8% in Private Passenger Automobile and 4.0% in Homeowners lines, partially offset by 2.7% growth in Commercial Automobile policies, compared to the same period in 2025. Average written premium per policy increased 2.9%, 6.4% and 10.9% in Private Passenger Automobile, Commercial Automobile and Homeowners lines, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025 reflecting the result of rate increases.
Net earned premiums for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased by $9.6 million, or 3.4%, to $291.7 million from $282.1 million for the comparable 2025 period. Net earned premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $27.8 million, or 5.0%, to $582.6 million from $554.8 million for the comparable 2025 period. The increase in net earned premium is the result of rate increases earning into top-line results.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred increased by $0.9 million, or 0.5%, to $195.1 million from $194.2 million for the comparable 2025 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred increased by $58.1 million, or 15.1%, to $442.6 million from $384.5 million for the comparable 2025 period. The increase in losses during the six months ended June 30, 2026 is due to the impact of two severe winter weather events that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Loss, expense, and combined ratios calculated for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were 66.9%, 28.8%, and 95.7%, respectively, compared to 68.8%, 29.3%, and 98.1%, respectively, for the comparable 2025 period. The decrease in loss and expense ratios is driven by the increase in net earned premiums. Loss, expense, and combined ratios calculated for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were 76.0%, 28.5%, and 104.5%, respectively, compared to 69.3%, 29.5%, and 98.8%, respectively, for the comparable 2025 period. The increase in the combined ratio during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the increase in losses discussed above.
Total prior year favorable development included in the pre-tax results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $10.6 million compared to $11.2 million for the comparable 2025 period. Total prior year favorable development included in the pre-tax results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $21.1 million compared to $23.5 million for the comparable 2025 period.
Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.9 million, or 5.3%, to $16.6 million from $15.7 million for the comparable 2025 period. Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $3.3 million, or 10.9%, to $33.6 million from $30.3 million for the comparable 2025 period. The increase is primarily driven by higher assets under management, reinvestment rates that exceeded the yields on maturing securities, and strong alternative asset returns. Net effective annualized yield on the investment portfolio was 4.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to 4.2% for the comparable 2025 period. Net effective annualized yield on the investment portfolio was 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 4.0% for the comparable 2025 period. The investment portfolio’s duration on fixed maturities was 3.8 years at June 30, 2026 compared to 3.9 years at December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Measures
Management has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in presenting the Company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to explain the Company’s results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating income per diluted share consist of our GAAP net income adjusted by the net realized gains on investments, change in net unrealized gains on equity securities, credit loss benefit (expense) and taxes related thereto. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $4.7 million for the change in unrealized gains on equity securities was recognized in income before income taxes, compared to a increase of $7.2 million recognized in the comparable 2025 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $6.8 million for the change in unrealized gains on equity securities was recognized in income before income taxes, compared to an increase of $6.9 million recognized in the comparable 2025 period. Net income and earnings per diluted share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating income per diluted share, respectively. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to these non-GAAP measures is included in the financial highlights below.

Cautionary Statement under "Safe Harbor" Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This press release contains, and Safety may from time to time make, written or oral "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “aim,” “projects,” or words of similar meaning and expressions that indicate future events and trends, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may”. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about the Company’s strategy for growth, product development, market position, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual future conditions, events, results or trends to differ significantly and/or materially from historical results or those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include but are not limited to:
| ● | The competitive nature of our industry and the possible adverse effects of such competition; |
| ● | Conditions for business operations and restrictive regulations in Massachusetts; |
| ● | The possibility of losses due to claims resulting from severe weather; |
| ● | The impact of inflation, changes in tariffs and supply chain delays on loss severity; |
| ● | The possibility that the Commissioner of Insurance may approve future rule changes that change the operation of the residual market; |
| ● | The possibility that existing insurance-related laws and regulations will become further restrictive in the future; |
| ● | The impact of investment, economic and underwriting market conditions, including interest rates and inflation; |
| ● | Our possible need for and availability of additional financing, and our dependence on strategic relationships, among others; |
| ● | Risks related to the proposed merger with Mapfre; and |
| ● | Other risks and factors identified from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, such as those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. |
We are not under any obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
