Note 1 Reporting and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
We are a holding company that, through subsidiaries, provides personal automobile insurance with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. Although licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, we focus on select states that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
Basis of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, focuses on our financial performance since the beginning of the year.
These financial statements reflect certain adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. Such adjustments consist of normal, recurring accruals recorded to match expenses with their related revenue streams and the elimination of all significant inter-company transactions and balances.
We have evaluated events that occurred after September 30, 2012 for recognition or disclosure in our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.

Schedules may not foot due to rounding.

Estimates
We based certain accounts and balances within these financial statements upon our estimates and assumptions. The amount of reserves for claims not yet paid, for example, is an item that we can only record by estimation. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments are subject to market fluctuations, and we use judgment in the determination of whether unrealized losses on certain securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. Should actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the effect on our results of operations could be material. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of our results for the entire year.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts
In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update intended to reduce diversity in practice for the accounting of deferred policy acquisition costs. The guidance modifies the definition of acquisition costs to require that costs be directly related to the successful acquisition of a new or renewal insurance contract to be deferred. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. Pursuant to the guidance, we elected to adopt this standard on a retrospective basis and recognized an adjustment to beginning retained earnings for the earliest period shown in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity of $6.2 million, net of taxes.

The following table illustrates the effect of adopting this standard on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

We also adjusted the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for these changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June and December 2011, the FASB issued guidance amending the presentation of comprehensive income and its components. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. Under the new guidance, a reporting entity has the option to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, as we elected. The impact of adoption was not material to our results of operations or financial position.

Amendments to Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and amends certain fair value measurement principles, requirements and disclosures. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. The impact of adoption was not material to our results of operations or financial position. Additional disclosures required by this standard are located in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance providing the option to first assess qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions and industry and market considerations, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates impairment, an entity must perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity does not elect the option to perform the qualitative assessment, the guidance requiring the two-step goodwill impairment test is unchanged. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. The impact of adoption had no impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Note 2 Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Plan
We established the Restricted Stock Plan in 2002 and amended it on July 31, 2007. There are 500,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan, of which we have issued 278,843 shares as of September 30, 2012. We expense the fair value of shares issued under the Restricted Stock Plan over the vesting periods of the awards based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant.
On July 31, 2007, our Compensation Committee (“Committee”) approved the grant of 72,234 shares of restricted stock to certain officers under the Restricted Stock Plan. These shares of restricted stock vested in full on July 31, 2011. On August 2,

Table of Contents
INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



2011, the Committee approved the grant of an additional 72,234 shares of restricted stock to certain officers under the Restricted Stock Plan. These shares will vest in full on August 2, 2014. During the vesting period, the shares of restricted stock will not have voting rights and will accrue dividends, which we will not pay until the shares have vested. We treat the restricted shares as issued and outstanding for calculation of diluted earnings per share only. Until fully vested, we will not consider the shares issued and outstanding for purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation.
Non-employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan
In May 2005, our shareholders approved the Non-employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan (“Directors’ Plan”). The purpose of the Directors’ Plan is to include our common stock as part of the compensation provided to our non-employee directors and to provide for stock ownership requirements for our non-employee directors. There are 200,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Plan, of which we have issued 49,461 shares as of September 30, 2012. Under the terms of the Directors’ Plan, we grant shares on or about June 1 of each year and we restrict these shares from sale or transfer by any recipient for six months from the date of grant. In June 2011, we issued 6,657 shares of our common stock, valued pursuant to the Directors’ Plan at $350,000, to our non-employee directors. In June 2012, we issued 5,502 shares of our common stock, valued pursuant to the Directors’ Plan at $300,000, to our non-employee directors. We treat participants’ shares as issued and outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We established our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in 2004 and amended and restated it on August 3, 2010. Under the ESPP, all eligible full-time employees may purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount to the current market price. Employees may allocate up to 25% of their base salary with a maximum annual participation amount of $25,000. If a participant sells any shares purchased under the ESPP within one year, we preclude that employee from participating in the ESPP for one year from the date of sale. The source of shares issued to participants is treasury shares or authorized but previously unissued shares. The maximum number of shares that we may issue under the ESPP may not exceed 1,000,000, of which we have issued 52,244 as of September 30, 2012. Our ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We treat participants’ shares as issued and outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Performance Share Plan
Our shareholders approved the Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) on May 20, 2008 and an amended and restated PSP on May 26, 2010. The purpose of the PSP is to align further the interest of management with our long-term shareholders by including performance-based compensation, payable in shares of common stock, as a component of an executive’s annual compensation. The Committee administers the PSP and will (i) establish the performance goals, which may include but are not limited to, combined ratio, premium growth, growth within certain specific geographic areas and earnings per share or return on equity over the course of the upcoming three year period, (ii) determine the PSP participants, (iii) set the performance share units to be awarded to such participants, and (iv) set the rate at which performance share units will convert to shares of common stock based upon attainment of the performance goals. The number of shares of common stock that we may issue under the PSP is limited to 500,000 shares. In April 2012 and 2011, we issued 49,098 and 32,957 shares, respectively, under the PSP.
Stock Option Plan
We amended our Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) to prohibit any future grant of stock options from the plan after May 20, 2008. We amended the plan again on August 2, 2011. We have granted no options since 2004. We generally granted options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock at the date of grant and these options have a 10-year contractual life. All of the options under the SOP have fully vested. Subject to specific limitations contained in the SOP, our Board of Directors has the ability to amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time without shareholder approval. The SOP will continue in effect until the exercise or expiration of all options granted under the SOP.

As permitted by the Stock Compensation topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we used the modified Black-Scholes model with the assumptions noted below to estimate the value of employee stock options on the date of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our stock. We selected the expected option life to be 7.5 years, which represents the midpoint between the last vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the yield on 10-year Treasury notes in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield was based on expected dividends at the time of grant.

(a)
We calculated the intrinsic value for the stock options based on the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and our closing stock price as of the reporting date.
Cash received from options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
We have a policy of issuing new stock for the exercise of stock options.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



We do not measure our long-term debt at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $491.4 million fair value of our long-term debt would be included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if it were reported at fair value.
Level 1 includes cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equities invested in a rabbi trust. Level 2 includes securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities, other than those backed by the U.S. Government, that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"). We recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A third party nationally recognized pricing service provides the fair value of securities in Level 2. We periodically review the third party pricing methodologies and test for significant differences between the market price used to value the security and recent sales activity.

Of the $21.3 million fair value of securities in Level 3, which consists of 17 securities, we priced 15 based on non-binding broker quotes. We manually calculated the price of 2 securities, which have a combined fair value of $0.8 million. Quantitative

1 Recovery rate for senior unsecured bonds as indicated in Moody's Investor's Service Annual Default Study: Corporate Default and Recovery Rates, 1920-2011.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our manually-priced corporate bonds are a probability of default assumption and an assigned credit rating. Significant changes in either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in fair value measurement.  Generally, a reduction in probability of default would increase security valuation. A change in the credit rating assumption would change the yield spread associated with that bond, and thus the yield used in discounting the cash flows to arrive at the security’s valuation.
We transferred approximately $9.6 million of securities in Level 3 at December 31, 2011 to Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 because we obtained a price for those securities from a nationally recognized pricing service. We transferred approximately $2.9 million of securities into Level 3 from Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 because we could not obtain a price from a third party nationally recognized pricing service or because a rating by a NRSRO was not available. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The gains or losses included in net earnings are included in the line item net realized gains on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We recognize the net gains or losses included in other comprehensive income in the line item unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the line item change in unrealized gain on investments or the line item change in non-credit component of impairment losses on fixed maturities in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Note 5 Investments
We consider all fixed maturity and equity securities available-for-sale and report them at fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported after-tax (net of any valuation allowance) as a component of other comprehensive income. The proceeds from sales of securities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $10.0 million and $49.4 million, respectively. The proceeds from sales of securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $133.5 million and $158.1 million, respectively. The proceeds for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were net of $5.5 million of receivable for securities sold during the third quarter of 2011 that had not settled at September 30, 2011.
Gains or losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



 
The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors we considered and resources we used in our determination include:

the intent to sell the security;
whether it is more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the security before our anticipated recovery;
whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates;
the length of time the security’s fair value has been below our cost;
the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis;
historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings;
issuer news releases;
near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry;
industry research and communications with industry specialists and
third-party research and credit rating reports.
We regularly evaluate for potential impairment each security position that has any of the following: a fair value of less than 95% of its book value, an unrealized loss that equals or exceeds $100,000 or one or more impairment charges recorded in the past. In addition, we review positions held related to an issuer of a previously impaired security.

For fixed maturity securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired, we assess our intent to sell and the likelihood that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost. If a fixed maturity security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired but we do not intend to and are not more than likely to be required to sell the security before our recovery to amortized cost, we separate the amount of the impairment into a credit loss component and the amount due to all other factors. The excess of the amortized cost over the present value of the expected cash flows determines the credit loss component of an impairment charge on a fixed maturity security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at (1) the effective interest rate implicit at the date of acquisition for non-structured securities or (2) the book yield for structured securities. The techniques and assumptions for determining the best estimate of cash flows vary depending on the type of security. We recognize the credit loss component of an impairment charge in net earnings and the non-credit component in accumulated other comprehensive income. If we intend to sell or will, more likely than not, be required to sell a security, we treat the entire amount of the impairment as a credit loss.

The table below sets forth the scheduled maturities of fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2012, based on their fair values (in thousands). We report securities that do not have a single maturity date at average maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid by the issuers.

In February 2004, we issued $200 million principal of senior notes due February 2014 (the “5.5% Senior Notes”). The 5.5% Senior Notes accrue interest at an effective yield of 5.55% and bear a coupon of 5.5%, payable semiannually. At the time we issued the Senior Notes, we capitalized $2.1 million of debt issuance costs, which we are amortizing over the term of the 5.5% Senior Notes. During 2009, we repurchased $5.0 million of our debt, bringing the outstanding principal to $195.0 million. We calculated the September 30, 2012 fair value of $205.3 million using a 139 basis point spread to the two-year U.S. Treasury Note of 0.232%. The 5.5% Senior Notes were fully redeemed on October 17, 2012 at a price of 106.729%, or $208.1 million, plus accrued interest of $1.8 million.

In September 2012, we issued $275 million principal of senior notes due September 2022 (the “5.0% Senior Notes”). The 5.0% Senior Notes accrue interest at 5.0%, payable semiannually. At the time we issued the 5.0% Senior Notes, we capitalized $2.2 million of debt issuance costs, which we are amortizing over the term of the 5.0% Senior Notes. We calculated the September 30, 2012 fair value of $286.1 million using a 286 basis point spread to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note of 1.634%.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. At September 30, 2012 we were in technical violation of one of these covenants due to the issuance of the 5.0% Senior Notes. The 5.5% Senior Notes required 30 days' notice for redemption, therefore, at September 30, 2012 both bond issuances were outstanding causing our leverage ratio to exceed the maximum ratio set forth in the covenants. We were granted a temporary waiver and the 5.5% Senior Notes were redeemed on October 17, 2012. Upon redemption of the 5.5% Senior Notes, the covenant violation was cured.
At September 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Gain on Sale of Subsidiary
On September 30, 2012, we completed the sale of an inactive, shell subsidiary company to an unaffiliated third party. The total gain recorded on a GAAP basis was $2.9 million. In the future we intend to sell or dissolve other inactive shell companies. The primary reason for the sale of the companies is to reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining licenses that are no longer needed to support our insurance operations.

Increases in severities in both bodily injury coverage in California and personal injury protection coverage in Florida related to accident year 2011 was the primary sources of the $5.3 million and $7.1 million of unfavorable reserve development during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Increases in severities in both liability coverage in California as well as personal injury protection coverage in Florida relating
to accident year 2010 were the primary source of the unfavorable development during the third quarter of 2011. An increase in
severity in Florida personal injury protection coverage related to accident year 2010 was the primary source of the unfavorable
development during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.


Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies

ITEM 2
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” which anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. We make these statements subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this report not dealing with historical results or current facts are forward-looking and we base them on estimates, assumptions and projections. Statements which include the words “assumes,” “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “likely,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or the negative version of those words and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include statements relating to expectations concerning market conditions, premium growth, earnings, investment performance, expected losses, rate changes and loss experience.
The primary events or circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from what we expect include determinations with respect to reserve adequacy, realized gains or losses on the investment portfolio (including other-than-temporary impairments for credit losses), rising bodily injury loss cost trends, undesired business mix or risk profile for new business, elevated unemployment rates and the proliferation of illegal immigration legislation in key Focus States. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of some of the foregoing risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

OVERVIEW
In the third quarter of 2012 our gross written premium grew 19.9%. This quarter marks the twelfth consecutive quarter that we have experienced growth in written premiums. Approximately 92% of this growth came from California (15%) and Florida (77%), our two most profitable states. Premiums fell in three of the seven Focus States during the third quarter of 2012 as a result of our efforts to improve profitability through rate increases and more restrictive underwriting. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Premium for a more detailed discussion of our gross written premium growth.
Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $5.2 million and $0.43, respectively, compared to $6.7 million and $0.55, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $16.4 million and $1.37, respectively, compared to $23.8 million and $1.90, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in unfavorable development recognized in 2012 coupled with a decline in investment income.
Included in net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $3.5 million ($5.3 million pre-tax) and $3.1 million ($4.8 million pre-tax), respectively, of unfavorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves. Included in net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $4.6 million ($7.1 million pre-tax) and $3.1 million ($4.8 million pre-tax), respectively, of unfavorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves. The following table displays combined ratio results by accident year developed through September 30, 2012.

Recent accident years are less developed than prior years and must be interpreted with caution. However, the upward trend in the 2010 through 2012 accident period combined ratios compared to prior periods reflects an increase in new business during 2010 through 2012. Our new business combined ratios typically run 20 to 30 points higher than renewal business combined ratios due to higher commission and acquisition expenses as well as typically higher loss ratios. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Profitability for a more detailed discussion of our underwriting results.
Pre-tax net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $9.0 million compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Pre-tax net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $28.4 million compared to $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in pre-tax net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is a result of low and declining new market investment yields at which cash from maturing and prepaid securities was invested.
Our book value per share increased 3.0% from $56.05 at December 31, 2011 to $57.71 at September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to earnings, net of shareholder dividends, and the increase in unrealized gains on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Underwriting
Premium
Our insurance subsidiaries provide personal automobile insurance products with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. While there is no industry-recognized definition of nonstandard auto insurance, we believe that it is generally understood to mean coverage for drivers who, because of their driving record, age or vehicle type, represent higher than normal risks and pay higher rates for comparable coverage. We also write commercial vehicle insurance and insurance for classic collectible automobiles (“Classic Collector”).
We offer three primary products to individual drivers: the Low Cost product, which offers the most restrictive coverage, the Value Added product, which offers broader coverage and higher limits, and the Premier product, which we designed to offer the broadest coverage for standard and preferred risk drivers.
We are licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but we focus our operations in targeted urban areas (“Urban Zones”) identified within selected Focus States that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
We classify the states in which we operate into three categories:
“Focus States” – We have identified Urban Zones in these states, which include Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Texas.
“Maintenance States” – We are maintaining our writings in these states, which include Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina and Tennessee. We believe each state offers us an opportunity for underwriting profit.
“Other States” – Includes eight states where we maintain a renewal book of personal auto business.
We further classify territories within the Focus States into two categories:
“Urban Zones” – include the following urban areas:
Arizona – Phoenix and Tucson
California – Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Joaquin Valley
Florida – Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Sarasota and Tampa
Georgia – Atlanta
Nevada – Las Vegas
Pennsylvania – Allentown and Philadelphia
Texas – Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio
“Non-urban Zones” – include all remaining areas in the Focus States located outside of a designated Urban Zone.
We continually evaluate our market opportunities; thus, the Focus States, Urban Zones, Maintenance States and Other States may change over time as new market opportunities arise, as the allocation of resources changes or as regulatory environments change. At the beginning of 2012, we reclassified Illinois from a Focus State to a Maintenance State due to its low premium volume and underwriting profits. In the tables below, we have restated 2011 premium, policies in force and combined ratios to be consistent with the 2012 definition of Urban Zones, Focus States, Maintenance States and Other States.

Gross written premium grew 19.9% and 18.1% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2011. During the first nine months of 2012, Infinity implemented rate revisions in various states with an overall rate increase of 5.6%. Excluding the effect of rate changes in California, our largest state, the overall rate increase was 8.3%. Policies in force at September 30, 2012 increased 10.4% compared with the same period in 2011. Gross written premium grew more than policies in force due to a shift in overall business mix toward policies offering broader coverage and higher average premium as well as growth in Florida business, which has a higher average premium per policy than our other states.
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, personal auto insurance gross written premium in our Focus States grew 19.7% and 18.6%, respectively, when compared with the same periods of 2011. The increase in gross written premium in both periods is primarily due to growth in California and Florida.
California gross written premium grew 5.7% and 7.9%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. Rate actions taken by competitors and a shift in business mix to policies offering broader coverage and higher average premium have stimulated premium growth in the state.
Florida gross written premium grew 85.4% and 76.1%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. This growth is primarily a result of an increase in new business application count, higher business retention, an increase in average premium from rate increases, and competitor rate increases.
Declines of 14.2% and 13.0% in Texas, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 partially offset the growth in California and Florida. The decline in Texas gross written premium is primarily due to actions taken, such as rate increases and the elimination of annual policies, to improve profitability in the state.
Gross written premium in the Maintenance States grew 18.3% and 4.0%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 primarily due to growth in Alabama premium as a result of increased marketing efforts in the state. This growth was partially offset by a decline in Illinois premium.
Our Commercial Vehicle gross written premium grew 25.3% and 20.6%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. This growth is primarily due to higher average premium and better retention for this product.
Gross written premium in our Classic Collector product grew 14.6% and 15.1%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. This growth is primarily due to growth in Florida and Texas resulting from an increase in the number of agencies actively producing business for this product.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Profitability
A key operating performance measure of insurance companies is underwriting profitability, as opposed to overall profitability or net earnings. We measure underwriting profitability by the combined ratio. When the combined ratio is under 100%, we consider underwriting results profitable; when the ratio is over 100%, we consider underwriting results unprofitable. The combined ratio does not reflect investment income, other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expenses, other expenses or federal income taxes.
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP for shareholder and other users’ purposes, we report it on a statutory basis for insurance regulatory purposes. We evaluate underwriting profitability based on a combined ratio calculated using statutory accounting principles. The statutory combined ratio represents the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and LAE incurred as a percentage of net earned premium and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred, net of fees, as a percentage of net written premium. Certain expenses are treated differently under statutory and GAAP accounting principles. Under GAAP, commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing new and renewal business are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premium is earned; on a statutory basis these items are expensed as incurred. Additionally, bad debt charge-offs on agent balances and premium receivables are included only in the GAAP combined ratios.

In evaluating the profit performance of our business, we review underwriting profitability using statutory combined ratios. Accordingly, the discussion of underwriting results that follows will focus on these ratios and the components thereof, unless otherwise indicated.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The statutory combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 0.9% points from the same period of 2011. The statutory combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 0.5% points from the same period of 2011. The third quarter of 2012 included $5.3 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves and $2.9 million in unfavorable development on loss and LAE reserves from the first six months of 2012. The first nine months of 2012 included $7.1 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves. The third quarter of 2011 included $4.8 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves and $3.5 million in favorable development on loss and LAE reserves from the first six months of 2011. The first nine months of 2011 included $4.8 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves.
Excluding the effect of development from all periods, the statutory combined ratio decreased by 1.3 points for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and increased by 0.4 points for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011. In both periods, an increase in the loss and LAE ratio was offset by a decline in the underwriting ratio.
The increase in the loss and LAE ratio is primarily attributable to an increase in new business in states such as Florida. The underwriting ratio has declined primarily as a result of spreading fixed underwriting costs over a larger written premium base as well as a decline in advertising spending.
The GAAP combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 1.1 points from the same period of 2011. The GAAP combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 0.6 points from the same period of 2011. Excluding the effect of development from all periods, the GAAP combined ratio decreased by 1.1 points for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and increased by 0.5 points for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011. We expect the GAAP combined ratio, excluding reserve development, to be between 98.0% and 99.0% for the full year 2012.
Losses from catastrophes were $0.8 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $3.8 million for the same periods of 2011. Losses from catastrophes during 2012 were primarily due to hail storms in Texas during the second quarter.
The combined ratio in the Focus States remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and increased by 0.2 points for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 In both periods, increases in the loss and LAE ratio were offset by declines in the underwriting ratio. The increase in the loss and LAE ratio in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 is primarily due to unfavorable development in California. The increase in the loss and LAE ratio in the Focus States was partially offset by a decline in the underwriting ratio of 2.0 points and 2.3 points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As we experience premium growth in these states, the ratio of fixed underwriting costs to premium has declined.
The combined ratio in the Maintenance States decreased by 8.5 and 13.9 points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 2011, primarily due to a decline in the loss and LAE ratio in Illinois. We reclassified Illinois from a Focus State to a Maintenance State in 2012 and slowed new business production which drove the decline in the loss and LAE ratio.
The combined ratio for the Commercial Vehicle product increased by 13.6 points and 1.3 points, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to an increase in the loss and LAE ratio in both periods. The increase is due to several large losses incurred during the third quarter of 2012.

Changes in investment income reflect fluctuations in market rates and changes in average invested assets. Net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 declined compared to the same periods of 2011 primarily due to a decline in book yields because of a general decline in market interest rates for high quality bonds.
In the current low interest rate environment, we expect that investment returns will continue to decline as proceeds from maturing or prepaid investments are expected to be reinvested at yields lower than the average book yield for the total portfolio.
We recorded impairments for unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary and realized gains and losses on sales and disposals, as follows (before tax, in thousands):

For our securities held with unrealized losses, we believe, based on our analysis, that (i) we will recover our cost basis in these securities and (ii) we do not intend to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the securities before they recover in value. Should either of these beliefs change with regard to a particular security, a charge for impairment would likely be required. While it is not possible to predict accurately if or when a specific security will become impaired, charges for other-than-temporary impairments could be material to results of operations in a future period.
 
Gain on Sale of Subsidiary

On September 30, 2012, we completed the sale of an inactive, shell subsidiary company to an unaffiliated third party. The total gain recorded on a GAAP basis was $2.9 million. In the future we intend to sell or dissolve other inactive shell companies. The

primary reason for the sale of the companies is to reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining licenses that are no longer needed to support our insurance operations.

Interest Expense
At September 30, 2012 we had outstanding $195.0 million of senior notes that accrue interest at an effective yield of 5.55% and $275.0 million of senior notes that accrue interest at 5.0%. Interest expense recognized was as follows (in thousands):

Income Taxes

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Funds
We are a holding company and our insurance subsidiaries conduct our operations. Accordingly, we will have continuing cash needs for administrative expenses, the payment of interest on borrowings, shareholder dividends, share repurchases and taxes.
Funds to meet expenditures at the holding company level come primarily from dividends and tax payments from the insurance subsidiaries as well as cash and investments held by the holding company. As of September 30, 2012, the holding company had $198.6 million of unrestricted cash and investments. In 2012, our insurance subsidiaries may pay us up to $53.1 million in ordinary dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Our insurance subsidiaries generate liquidity to satisfy their obligations primarily by collecting and investing premium in advance of paying claims and generating investment income on their $1.2 billion investment portfolio. Our insurance subsidiaries generated positive cash flows from operations of $21.5 million and $76.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to positive operating cash flows of $18.0 million during the third quarter of 2011 and positive operating cash flows of $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2012, we had outstanding $195.0 million principal of senior notes (the "5.5% Senior Notes") due 2014, bearing a fixed 5.5% interest rate. The 5.5% Senior Notes were fully redeemed on October 17, 2012 at a price of 106.729%, or $208.1 million plus accrued interest of $1.8 million.

In September 2012, we issued $275 million principal of senior notes due September 2022 (the “5.0% Senior Notes”). The 5.0% Senior Notes accrue interest at 5.0%, payable semiannually each March and September. The majority of the proceeds from this issuance were used to redeem the 5.5% Senior Notes, as mentioned above. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our long-term debt.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. At September 30, 2012 we were in technical violation of one of these covenants due to the issuance of the 5.0% Senior Notes. The 5.5% Senior Notes required 30 days' notice for redemption, therefore, at September 30, 2012 both bond issuances were outstanding causing our leverage ratio to exceed the maximum ratio set forth in the covenants. We were granted a temporary waiver and the 5.5% Senior Notes were redeemed on October 17, 2012. Upon redemption of the 5.5% Senior Notes, the covenant violation was cured. At September 30, 2012 there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement.
Uses of Funds
In February 2012, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.225 per share from $0.180 per share. At this current amount, our 2012 annualized dividend payments would be approximately $10.6 million.
 
On August 3, 2010 our Board of Directors adopted a share and debt repurchase program set to expire on December 31, 2011. On August 2, 2011, our Board of Directors increased the authority under this program by $50.0 million and extended the date to execute the program to December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, we repurchased 22,800 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $55.97. During the second quarter of 2012, we repurchased 114,507 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $54.40. During the third quarter of 2012, we repurchased 47,044 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $57.08. As of September 30, 2012, we had $36.8 million of authority remaining under this program. On November 6, 2012, our Board of Directors again increased the authority under our current share and debt repurchase plan by $25.0 million and extended the date to execute the program to December 31, 2014.
We believe that cash balances, cash flows generated from operations or borrowings, and maturities and sales of investments are adequate to meet our future liquidity needs and those of our insurance subsidiaries.
Reinsurance
We use excess of loss, catastrophe and extra-contractual loss reinsurance to mitigate the financial impact of large or
catastrophic losses. During 2012, our catastrophe reinsurance protection covers 100% of $25 million in excess of $5 million. Our excess of loss reinsurance provides protection for commercial auto losses up to $700,000 for claims in excess of $300,000 per occurrence. Our extra-contractual loss reinsurance provides protection for losses up to $10 million in excess of $5 million for any single extra-contractual loss. We also use reinsurance to mitigate losses on our Classic Collector business.

Premium ceded under all reinsurance agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2011.
Investments
Our consolidated investment portfolio at September 30, 2012 contained approximately $1.3 billion in fixed maturity securities and $42.4 million in equity securities, all carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, on an after-tax basis. At September 30, 2012, we had pre-tax net unrealized gains of $56.1 million on fixed maturities and pre-tax net unrealized gains of $15.8 million on equity securities. Combined, the pre-tax net unrealized gain increased by $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Approximately 93.8% of our fixed maturity investments at September 30, 2012 were rated “investment grade,” and as of the same date, the average credit rating of our fixed maturity portfolio was AA-. Investment grade securities generally bear lower yields and have lower degrees of risk than those that are unrated or non-investment grade. We believe that a high quality investment portfolio is more likely to generate a stable and predictable investment return.
Since we carry all of these securities at fair value in our balance sheet, there is virtually no effect on liquidity or financial condition upon the sale and ultimate realization of unrealized gains and losses. The average option adjusted duration of our fixed maturity portfolio is 3.0 years at September 30, 2012.
Fair values of instruments are based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets (Level 2) or (iii) valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace (Level 3).
Level 1 securities are U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equity securities held in a rabbi trust. Level 2 securities are comprised of securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities that nationally recognized statistical rating organizations do not rate.

Other than securities backed by the U.S. government or issued by its agencies, our fixed income portfolio contains no securities issued by any single issuer that exceed 1% of the fair value of the fixed income portfolio.
Since 2007, the mortgage industry has experienced a rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among lower quality exposures (“sub-prime” and “Alt-A”). As a result, many securities with underlying sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages as collateral experienced significant drops in market value. We have only modest exposure to these types of investments. At September 30, 2012, our fixed maturity portfolio included two securities having a fair value of $0.5 million with exposure to sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages. Although these securities have sub-prime mortgages as underlying collateral, all are rated AA or better.
