The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. provided catastrophe loss guidance for the first quarter of 2021. The company expects its first quarter catastrophe losses to be approximately $133 million, before taxes, or $105 million after taxes, driven primarily by the severe winter freeze events that spread throughout the Southern United States in February. The large impact was in Texas, where the company estimates catastrophe losses related to two major winter events to be approximately $90 million, before taxes, primarily in its commercial multiple peril line.
