Revenue climbed 7.4% year over year to $12.12 billion, exceeding the $11.02 billion consensus by nearly 10%. The single biggest driver was a sharp retreat in catastrophe losses, which fell to $927 million pre-tax from $1.51 billion in the prior-year quarter, unlocking a consolidated combined ratio improvement of 9.9 points to 90.3%. The turnaround was most vivid in Personal Insurance, which swung from a $153 million after-tax loss to $534 million of segment income, while Business Insurance added $157 million more in segment earnings and Bond and Specialty contributed $244 million. Net investment income grew 6% to $942 million pre-tax, and operating cash flow reached $2.33 billion for the quarter. With a trailing twelve-month core return on equity of 17.1% and management citing disciplined execution and strong momentum across all three segments, Travelers enters the second half of 2025 from a position of considerable financial strength.
