  2. Reserving for Automobile Warranty and Other Long Duration Contracts • Earnings patterns are jealously guarded by ESC writers (also, no “bureau” for data) • Earnings patterns in this paper are purely fictitious - any semblance to actual earnings patterns is accidental • Earnings patterns vary considerably due to variations in coverage, vehicle, deductible, time/mileage limits, etc.

  3. Reserving for Automobile Warranty and Other Long Duration Contracts • New Car Manufacturer Warranties • ESC Sold when new car placed into service • “Extended Eligibility” new vehicle ESC’s • Used Vehicle ESC’s

  4. Auto Warranties and Auto Extended Service Contracts Problems: • Earnings over several calendar years • Exposure does not earn evenly over the coverage period • Some contracts have more than one earnings path (example: time AND mileage) • Catastrophes CAN happen (“spills”)

  5. Auto Warranties and Auto Extended Service Contracts Good news / Bad News: • Vehicles are sold with no practical means of revising their warranties, other than to expand the coverage • ESC Sales are essentially “one shot,” there are no renewals (rate changes do not affect current book of business)

  6. Auto Warranties and Auto Extended Service Contracts Very Important! • For warranty coverage, talk to the engineers, if you can • Talk with the people that price the ESC product • Talk with the people who market the ESC product to understand any shifts in distribution, new programs, etc. • Vehicle Content

  7. Auto Warranties and Auto Extended Service Contracts Losses • Often, there are no case reserves, only payments • Earned Premium is not proportional to time, so loss ratio methods are misleading, at best
