Fourth quarter catastrophe losses included $6.6 million, or 2.1 loss ratio points, of adverse development relating to prior years from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey from the specialty run-off business. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the fourth quarter 2019 included 5.7 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $18.3 million, versus 7.9 points of favorable development, or $24.4 million, for the same period in 2018.

SAP Personal and Commercial Operating Results
The exit from our specialty insurance business resulted in the elimination of specialty insurance as a reportable segment as we stopped writing this business on a net basis in 2018. Specialty results, labeled as "specialty run-off," are included in the SAP Insurance Segment Results tables below to enable reconciliation to total underwriting results.
Net written premium for the fourth quarter 2019 increased 9.0% compared to the same period in 2018. By segment, net written premium for personal and commercial increased 6.8% and 12.6%, respectively. The increase in the personal segment was primarily due to new business growth and rate increases in homeowners and other personal. Personal auto net written premium declined as a result of lower new business and retention. The increase in the commercial segment was led by new business growth in commercial auto, middle market commercial and small commercial package. Workers' compensation net written premium declined due to continued intense competition in this market.
Net written premium for the year ended 2019 increased 10.2% compared to the same period in 2018. By insurance segment, net written premium for the personal and commercial segments increased 9.1% and 12.0%, respectively. The trends in the personal and commercial segments' net written premium were due to the same factors discussed above for the fourth quarter.
The SAP personal and commercial segments' combined ratio for the fourth quarter 2019 was 97.1 compared to 92.8 for the same 2018 period. Catastrophe losses during the fourth quarter 2019 accounted for 5.6 points of the total 61.9 loss ratio points, or $18.2 million, versus 2.3 points of the total 54.8 loss ratio points, or $6.9 million, for the same period in 2018. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the fourth quarter 2019 included 6.1 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $19.6 million, versus 7.8 points of favorable development, or $23.3 million, for the same period in 2018.
The SAP personal and commercial segments' combined ratio for the year ended 2019 was 101.2 compared to 98.6 for the same 2018 period. Catastrophe losses for the year ended 2019 accounted for 7.2 points of the total 66.8 loss ratio points, or $89.9 million, versus 6.2 points of the total 63.0 loss ratio points, or $70.3 million for the same period in 2018. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE for the year ended 2019 included 5.7 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $71.3 million, versus 7.0 points of favorable development, or $79.7 million, for the same period in 2018.
Book Value and Return on Equity
STFC’s book value increased to $22.01 per share as of Dec. 31, 2019, compared to $21.68 on Sept. 30, 2019. The increase was driven by the market value of our investment portfolio.
Return on stockholders’ equity for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019, was 9.8% compared to 1.5% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2018.
STFC’s Chairman, President and CEO Mike LaRocco commented on the quarter and year as follows:
“Our fourth quarter and year ended 2019 results reflected the challenges we faced during the year in addition to the considerable progress we made toward more consistent profitable performance. While our personal and commercial lines’ 101.2% SAP combined ratio and 10.2% net written premium growth for 2019 didn’t meet our expectations, we made important, significant progress in several areas including surpassing $2.0 billion in net written premium for the State Auto Group which includes all Pooled Companies.
“The lack of an underwriting profit was driven primarily by our personal lines business, where we identified and have closed product and technology gaps, mainly in our auto line. Higher weather losses also significantly impacted our property results. Our homeowners business grew nearly 20% in 2019, a testament to the powerful combination of our digital technology and new product design.
“2019 was an outstanding year for our commercial lines business, which was profitable with a SAP combined ratio of 97.0 and produced 12.0% net written premium growth. This was a remarkable achievement, the result of two years of rebuilding our commercial lines teams and products. At the same time, work continued toward 2020 launches of farm and ranch and middle market commercial on our digital-only platform, State Auto Connect.
“The foundation we’ve built remains strong. We enter 2020 with the products, pricing, technology and agent partners that will drive our success, and the State Auto team has the creativity, passion and persistence needed to win.”

For STFC, this amounted to income of $0.43 per diluted share and $1.33 per diluted share for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2019, respectively, versus a loss of $1.25 per diluted share and $0.91 per diluted share for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2018, respectively.
2 Insurance industry regulators require STFC’s insurance subsidiaries to report their financial condition and results of operations using Statutory Accounting Practices ("SAP").
