General insurance adjusted pretax income of $1.36B increased from $1.19B in the year-ago quarter, reflecting an increase in underwriting income and combined ratio improvement, driven by higher premiums marked by higher renewal retentions, positive rate change and strong new business production, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions as well as more favorable prior year development .

Life and Retirement premiums and deposits were $7.10B in Q2, down 21% from $9.04B in the year-ago quarter.

Life and Retirement adjusted pretax income of $563M dropped from $1.12B a year ago, primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates, lower equity markets, and NII.

Adjusted tangible book value per share of $66.06, up 2% from $64.65 at March 31, 2022; book value per common share of $58.16, down 16% from $69.30 at March 31.
