Old Republic Announces Third Quarter Special Charges


CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Republic International Corporation (NYSE: ORI) today announced that it will include pretax operating charges aggregating $150.0 million (or $97.5 million after tax and $0.33 per diluted share) in its consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  These charges stem from: (a) estimated General Insurance claim provisions ($20.0 million) associated with a current evaluation of exposures from hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and (b) additional claim and related expense provisions ($130.0 million) applicable to the final settlements and probable dispositions of all known litigated and other claim costs incurred by the Company's run-off Financial Indemnity business during the Great Recession years and their aftermath.

Any additional information related to these charges will be addressed as may be necessary in Old Republic's nine months' earnings announcement scheduled for October 26, 2017.
