This approach for selecting pure premium trends is consistent with the Current Practices and<br />

C<strong>at</strong>astrophes<br />
An adjustment has been made to Comprehensive coverage losses to more appropri<strong>at</strong>ely account<br />
for c<strong>at</strong>astrophes in the base d<strong>at</strong>a. All actual c<strong>at</strong>astrophe losses during the experience period were<br />
removed and then replaced with a provision to reflect expected c<strong>at</strong>astrophe losses in <strong>Delaware</strong>.<br />
A c<strong>at</strong>astrophe loss provision based upon 25 years of d<strong>at</strong>a was used. The provision was<br />
calcul<strong>at</strong>ed by dividing total c<strong>at</strong>astrophe losses by total Comprehensive coverage incurred losses<br />
excluding c<strong>at</strong>astrophes over the 25-year period. The resulting c<strong>at</strong>astrophe provision is 2.8%.<br />
The c<strong>at</strong>astrophe provision is developed in Exhibit 9 and is applied to the Comprehensive<br />
coverage losses in Exhibit 2.6. This adjustment to account for c<strong>at</strong>astrophes is consistent with<br />
the Analysis of Issues and Recommended Practices detailed in Section 3.4 of Actuarial Standard<br />
of Practice No. 39, Tre<strong>at</strong>ment of C<strong>at</strong>astrophe Losses in Property/Casualty <strong>Insurance</strong><br />
R<strong>at</strong>emaking.
