Unitrin Tabs Full Hurricane Losses at Less Than $15M
Chicago-based Unitrin, Inc. announced that it expects its net losses resulting from Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne combined will be less than $15 million after-tax. Unitrin had previously disclosed that its net losses from Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan combined would be less than $15 million after-tax.
Richard Vie, Unitrin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented “We have slightly lowered our estimated losses from Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan.
