Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of "bbb+" of Safety Insurance Group, Inc. (Delaware) (NASDAQ:SAFT), the publicly traded parent of Safety. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) remains stable. All companies are domiciled in Boston, MA, except where specified.
The ratings reflect Safety's balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorizes as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

Safety's very strong balance sheet strength is derived from favorable reserve development trends, low underwriting leverage measures and sound liquidity measures. In addition, Safety benefits from the financial flexibility afforded by its publicly traded parent, which has the ability to access capital markets.
Safety's strong operating performance is derived by favorable underwriting and investment income. The strong profitability has supported policyholder surplus growth and is the result of management's ability to manage the challenges in Massachusetts successfully, where it writes the majority of its business.
AM Best assesses Safety's business profile as neutral due to its leading market position and diverse product offerings, partially offset by its geographic concentration in Massachusetts, which exposes Safety to above average economic, regulatory and legislative risks. AM Best considers Safety's ERM as appropriate for the company's size and scope of operations; however, Safety is exposed to considerable catastrophe tail risk and has implemented strategies to reduce this exposure.
