−Removed: Adoption of New Accounting Standards
−Removed: Reserve for Future Policy Benefits
−Removed: On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") updated guidance on accounting for long duration insurance contracts, which was applied on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2021.
−Removed: The new guidance requires the discount rate assumption to be updated, as of the transition date and quarterly going forward, to a current upper-medium grade fixed-income investment yield, which has been interpreted to represent a yield based on single-A credit rated fixed maturity instruments with similar duration to the liability.
−Removed: The new guidance also eliminated the requirement to adjust the reserve for future policy benefits for unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity investments as if those unrealized gains and losses were realized (referred to as shadow reserves).
−Removed: The change in the reserve estimate resulting from updating the discount rate assumptions and eliminating shadow reserves was recognized as a net cumulative effect adjustment that increased the reserve for future policy benefits by $ 85 and decreased AOCI by $ 65 , net of deferred tax effects as of January 1, 2021.
−Removed: The new guidance also requires that underlying cash flow assumptions (i.e., mortality, lapse and expense) in the reserve for future policy benefits be based on best estimate assumptions.
−Removed: The adjustments to the reserve for future policy benefits at adoption resulted in establishing a deferred profit liability on limited pay contracts of $ 18 representing the estimated profits based on best estimate cash flow assumptions.
−Removed: The effect of adopting this guidance on the Company’s reserve for future policy benefits was as follows:

−Removed: Contracts are grouped into cohorts by contract type and issue year.
−Removed: The Company establishes reserves for future policy benefits using the net premium approach, which represents the present value of future policyholder benefits and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums.

−Removed: Subject to the uncertainties related to sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims discussed in Note 9 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of this Form 10-Q and in Note 11 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in the following discussion under the caption “COVID-19 Pandemic Business Income Insurance Litigation” and under the caption “Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims,” management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford.

The Hartford also is involved in individual actions in which punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper business practices.
−Removed: Like many other insurers, The Hartford also has been joined in actions by asbestos plaintiffs asserting, among other things, that insurers had a duty to protect the public from the dangers of asbestos and that insurers committed unfair trade practices by asserting defenses on behalf of their policyholders in the underlying asbestos cases.
Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford.
Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, the outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

COVID-19 Pandemic Business Income Insurance Litigation
−Removed: Like many others in the property and casualty insurance industry, beginning in April 2020, various direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively the "Hartford Writing Companies”), and in some instances the Company itself, have been served as defendants in lawsuits seeking insurance coverage under commercial insurance policies issued by the Hartford Writing Companies for alleged losses resulting from the shutdown or suspension of their businesses due to the spread of COVID-19.
−Removed: More than 300 such lawsuits have been filed, of which more than 60 purport to be filed on behalf of broad nationwide or statewide classes of policyholders.
−Removed: These lawsuits have been filed in state and federal courts in roughly 35 states.
+Added: Like many others in the property and casualty insurance industry, beginning in April 2020, various direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively the "Hartford Writing Companies”), and in some instances the Company itself, were named as defendants in lawsuits seeking insurance coverage under commercial insurance policies issued by the Hartford Writing Companies for alleged losses resulting from the shutdown or suspension of their businesses due to the spread of COVID-19.
+Added: More than 300 such lawsuits were filed, including numerous lawsuits purportedly filed on behalf of broad nationwide or statewide classes of policyholders.
Although the allegations vary, the plaintiffs generally seek a declaration of insurance coverage, damages for breach of contract in unspecified amounts, interest, and attorneys' fees.
−Removed: Many of the lawsuits also allege that the insurance claims were denied in bad faith or otherwise in violation of state laws and
−Removed: seek extra-contractual or punitive damages.
+Added: Many of the lawsuits also allege that the insurance claims were denied in bad faith or otherwise in violation of state laws and seek extra-contractual or punitive damages.
Some of the lawsuits also allege that the Hartford Writing Companies engaged in unfair business practices by collecting or retaining excess premium.
−Removed: The Company and its subsidiaries deny the allegations and continue to vigorously defend these suits.
−Removed: The Hartford Writing Companies maintain that they have no coverage obligations with respect to these suits for business income allegedly lost by the plaintiffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic based on the clear terms of the applicable insurance policies.
−Removed: Although the policy terms vary depending, among other things, upon the size, nature, and location of the policyholder’s business, in general, the claims at issue in these lawsuits were denied because the claimant identified no direct physical damage or loss to property at the insured premises, and the governmental orders that led to the complete or partial shutdown of the business were not due to the existence of any direct physical damage or loss in the immediate vicinity of the insured premises and did not prohibit access to the insured premises, as required by the terms of the insurance policies.
−Removed: In addition, the vast majority of the policies at issue expressly exclude from coverage any loss caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth, proliferation, spread or activity of a virus, subject to a narrow set of exceptions not applicable in connection with this pandemic, and contain a pollution and contamination exclusion that, among other things, expressly excludes from coverage any loss caused by material that threatens human health or welfare.
−Removed: In addition to the inherent difficulty in predicting litigation outcomes, the COVID-19 pandemic business income coverage lawsuits present numerous uncertainties and contingencies that are not yet fully known, including how many additional claims or lawsuits could be filed, the extent to which any state or nationwide classes will be certified, and the size and scope of any such classes.
−Removed: The legal theories advocated by plaintiffs vary significantly by case as do the state laws that govern the policy interpretation.
−Removed: These lawsuits are at various stages of litigation:
−Removed: some are in the earliest stages of litigation, some complaints may be amended, some have been dismissed voluntarily and may be refiled, while many have been dismissed through rulings in favor of the Hartford Writing Companies.
−Removed: Discovery is underway in certain single plaintiff cases.
−Removed: Moreover, dozens of policyholders have appealed dismissals in favor of the Hartford Writing Companies.
−Removed: The Hartford Writing Companies have received numerous favorable rulings on appeal, with a few adverse appellate rulings to date.
−Removed: The remainder of the Hartford Writing Companies' appeals are at various stages of the appellate process and have not yet been ruled upon.
−Removed: In addition, business income calculations depend upon a wide range of factors that are particular to the circumstances of each individual policyholder and, here, almost none of the plaintiffs have submitted proofs of loss or otherwise quantified or factually supported any allegedly covered loss, and, in any event, the Company’s experience shows that demands for damages often bear little relation to a reasonable estimate of potential loss.
−Removed: Accordingly, management cannot now reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
−Removed: Nonetheless, given the large number of claims and potential claims, the indeterminate amounts sought, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that adverse outcomes, if any, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results or liquidity.
−Removed: Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies

+Added: The Company and its subsidiaries deny the allegations and maintain that based on the terms of the applicable insurance policies, they have no coverage obligations with respect to these suits for business income allegedly lost by the plaintiffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Specifically, the policies generally require direct physical loss or damage to insured property and/or contain exclusions for any loss caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth, proliferation, spread or activity of a virus, subject to a narrow set of exceptions not applicable in connection with this pandemic, and which often contain a pollution and contamination exclusion that, among other things, expressly excludes from coverage any loss caused by material that threatens human health or welfare.
+Added: The Company has obtained numerous dismissals in its favor and affirmations on appeal and continues to vigorously defend the remaining suits in the trial and appellate courts.
+Added: Nevertheless, given the inherent difficulty in predicting litigation outcomes, the COVID-19 pandemic business income coverage lawsuits still present uncertainties and contingencies that are not yet fully known, including whether additional claims or lawsuits could be filed, the extent to which any state or nationwide classes will be certified, and the size and scope of any such classes.
+Added: In addition, business income calculations depend upon a wide range of factors that are particular to the circumstances of each individual policyholder and, here, almost none of the plaintiffs have submitted proofs of loss or otherwise quantified or factually supported any allegedly covered loss to allow management to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
+Added: Thus, despite the high percentage of favorable outcomes to date in both the trial and appellate courts, given the lack of certainty around the remaining lawsuits, the indeterminate amounts sought, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that adverse outcomes, if any, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results or liquidity.
