Note 1 Reporting and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
We are a holding company that, through subsidiaries, provides personal automobile insurance with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. Although licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, we focus on select states that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
Basis of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, focuses on our financial performance since the beginning of the year.
These financial statements reflect certain adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. Such adjustments consist of normal, recurring accruals recorded to match expenses with their related revenue streams and the elimination of all significant inter-company transactions and balances.
We have evaluated events that occurred after September 30, 2013 for recognition or disclosure in our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.

Schedules may not foot due to rounding.

Estimates
We based certain accounts and balances within these financial statements upon our estimates and assumptions. The amount of reserves for claims not yet paid, for example, is an item that we can only record by estimation. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments are subject to market fluctuations, and we use judgment in the determination of whether unrealized losses on certain securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. Should actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the effect on our results of operations could be material. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of our results for the entire year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring expanded disclosures about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Entities are required to present reclassifications by component when reporting changes in AOCI balances. The guidance requires the presentation of significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by income statement line item. We adopted the new guidance as of March 31, 2013. The new guidance affects disclosures only and therefore had no impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Fair values of instruments are based on:
(i)
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1),
(ii)
quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets (Level 2) or
(iii)
valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace (Level 3).

We do not report our long-term debt at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $284.0 million and $288.9 million fair value of our long-term debt at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, would be included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if it were reported at fair value.
Level 1 includes cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equities invested in a rabbi trust. Level 2 includes securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are

comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities, other than those backed by the U.S. Government, that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"). We recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A third party nationally recognized pricing service provides the fair value of securities in Level 2. We review the third party pricing methodologies quarterly and test for significant differences between the market price used to value the security and recent sales activity.

Of the $10.8 million fair value of securities in Level 3 at September 30, 2013, which consists of 11 securities, we priced six based on non-binding broker quotes, two prices were provided by our unaffiliated money managers and one security, which was included in Level 3 because it was not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, was priced by a nationally recognized pricing service. We manually calculated the remaining two securities, which have a combined fair value of $0.7 million.
Quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these manually priced securities at September 30, 2013 is as follows (in millions):

2 This bond is not rated, but is supported by JC Penney Corporation trust assets; therefore a JC Penney comparable bond rating is used.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our manually-priced corporate bonds are a probability of default assumption and an assigned credit rating. Significant changes in either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in fair value measurement for these corporate bonds.  Generally, a reduction in probability of

default would increase security valuation. A change in the credit rating assumption would change the yield spread associated with that bond, and thus the yield used in discounting the cash flows to arrive at the security’s valuation.
There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We transfered $8.5 million and $9.6 million of securities from Level 3 to Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, because we obtained a price for those securities from a nationally recognized pricing service.
The gains or losses included in net earnings are included in the line item "Net realized (losses) gains on investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We recognize the net gains or losses included in other comprehensive income in the line item "Unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the line item "Change in unrealized gain on investments" or the line item "Change in non-credit component of impairment losses on fixed maturities" in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 Investments
We consider all fixed maturity and equity securities to be available-for-sale and report them at fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported after-tax (net of any valuation allowance) as a component of other comprehensive income. The proceeds from sales of securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $43.0 million and $331.2 million, respectively. The proceeds from sales of securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $10.0 million and $133.5 million, respectively. The proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were net of $0.5 million of receivable for securities sold during the third quarter of 2013 that had not settled at September 30, 2013.
Gains or losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION FORM 10-Q

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors we considered and resources we used in our determination include:
the intent to sell the security;
whether it is more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the security before our anticipated recovery;
whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates;
the length of time the security’s fair value has been below our cost;
the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis;
historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings;
issuer news releases;
near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry;
industry research and communications with industry specialists and
third-party research and credit rating reports.
We regularly evaluate for potential impairment each security position that has any of the following: a fair value of less than 95% of its book value, an unrealized loss that equals or exceeds $100,000 or one or more impairment charges recorded in the past. In addition, we review positions held related to an issuer of a previously impaired security.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For fixed maturity securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired, we assess our intent to sell and the likelihood that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost. If a fixed maturity security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired but we do not intend to and are not more than likely to be required to sell the security before our recovery of amortized cost, we separate the amount of the impairment into a credit loss component and the amount due to all other factors ("non-credit component"). The excess of the amortized cost over the present value of the expected cash flows determines the credit loss component of an impairment charge on a fixed maturity security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at (1) the effective interest rate implicit at the date of acquisition for non-structured securities or (2) the book yield for structured securities. The techniques and assumptions for determining the best estimate of cash flows vary depending on the type of security. We recognize the credit loss component of an impairment charge in net earnings and the non-credit component in accumulated other comprehensive income. If we intend to sell or will, more likely than not, be required to sell a security, we treat the entire amount of the impairment as a credit loss.

Note 5 Long-Term Debt

In September 2012, we issued $275 million principal of senior notes due September 2022 (the “5.0% Senior Notes”). The 5.0% Senior Notes accrue interest at 5.0%, payable semiannually. At the time we issued the 5.0% Senior Notes, we capitalized $2.2 million of debt issuance costs, which we are amortizing over the term of the 5.0% Senior Notes. We calculated the September 30, 2013 fair value of $284.0 million using a 194 basis point spread to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note of 2.611%.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit
Agreement. At September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Increases in severities in both bodily injury coverage in California and personal injury protection coverage in Florida related to
accident year 2012 were the primary sources of the $0.9 million and $2.2 million of unfavorable reserve development during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Increases in severities in both bodily injury coverage in California and personal injury protection coverage in Florida related to
accident year 2011 were the primary sources of the $5.3 million and $7.1 million of unfavorable reserve development during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

ITEM 2
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” which anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. We make these statements subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this report not dealing with historical results or current facts are forward-looking and we base them on estimates, assumptions and projections. Statements which include the words “assumes,” “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “likely,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or the negative version of those words and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include statements relating to expectations concerning market conditions, premium growth, earnings, investment performance, expected losses, rate changes and loss experience.
The primary events or circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from what we expect include determinations with respect to reserve adequacy, realized gains or losses on the investment portfolio (including other-than temporary impairments for credit losses), bodily injury loss cost trends, undesired business mix or risk profile for new business and competitive conditions in our key Focus States. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of some of the foregoing risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

OVERVIEW
In the third quarter of 2013 our gross written premium grew 1.1%. The majority of this growth came from Florida, one of our most profitable states. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Premium for a more detailed discussion of our gross written premium growth.
Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $7.2 million and $0.62, respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $0.43, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $23.3 million and $1.99, respectively, compared to $16.4 million and $1.37, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in underwriting income.
Included in net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $0.6 million ($0.9 million pre-tax) and $1.4 million ($2.2 million pre-tax), respectively, of unfavorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves. This development was primary due to bodily injury and personal injury protection coverages in the states of California and Florida, respectively, related to accident year 2012. Included in net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $3.5 million ($5.3 million pre-tax) and $4.6 million ($7.1 million pre-tax), respectively, of unfavorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves. The following table displays combined ratio results by accident year developed through September 30, 2013.

See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Profitability for a more detailed discussion of our underwriting results.
Pre-tax net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $8.1 million compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Pre-tax net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $25.1 million compared to $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in pre-tax net investment income in both periods is a result of low new market investment yields at which cash from maturing and prepaid securities was invested.
Our book value per share decreased 0.1% from $56.55 at December 31, 2012 to $56.49 at September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in unrealized gains as a result of an increase in interest rates and shareholder dividends partially offset by earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Underwriting
Premium
Our insurance subsidiaries provide personal automobile insurance products with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. While there is no industry-recognized definition of nonstandard auto insurance, we believe that it is generally understood to mean coverage for drivers who, because of their driving record, age or vehicle type, represent higher than normal risks and pay higher rates for comparable coverage. We also write commercial vehicle insurance and insurance for classic collectible automobiles (“Classic Collector”).
We offer three primary products to individual drivers: the Low Cost product, which offers the most restrictive coverage, the Value Added product, which offers broader coverage and higher limits, and the Premier product, which we designed to offer the broadest coverage for standard and preferred risk drivers.
We are licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but we focus our operations in targeted urban areas identified in selected Focus States that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
We classify the states in which we operate into two categories:
“Focus States” – These states include Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Texas.
“Other States” – Include all other states where we are maintaining our writings. We believe each state offers us an opportunity for underwriting profit.
We continually evaluate our market opportunities; thus, the Focus States and Other States may change over time as new market opportunities arise, as the allocation of resources changes or as regulatory environments change.

Gross written premium grew 1.1% and 6.8% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, compared
with the same periods of 2012. During the first nine months of 2013, Infinity implemented rate revisions in various states with
an overall rate increase of 5.8%. Excluding the effect of rate changes in California and Florida, our largest states, the overall rate increase was 9.4%. Policies in force at September 30, 2013 decreased 2.8% compared with the same period in 2012. Gross written premium grew despite the decline in policies in force due to a shift in overall business mix toward policies offering broader coverage and higher average premium as well as growth in Florida business, which has a higher average premium per policy than our other states.
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, personal auto insurance gross written premium in our Focus States grew 1.6% and 7.6%, respectively, when compared with the same periods of 2012. The increase in gross written premium is primarily due to growth in California and Florida, which grew a combined 8.1% and 14.8% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, as a result of higher average premium and renewal business growth in both states. The growth in California and Florida during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 was partially offset by declines in the remaining Focus States. We have raised rates and tightened underwriting restrictions in these states in order to improve their profitability.
Our Commercial Vehicle gross written premium grew 7.9% and 10.3% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. This growth is primarily due to higher average premium and better retention for this product.
Gross written premium in our Classic Collector product grew 5.2% and 6.9% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. This growth is primarily due to growth in renewal business.

Profitability
A key operating performance measure of insurance companies is underwriting profitability, as opposed to overall profitability or net earnings. We measure underwriting profitability by the combined ratio. When the combined ratio is under 100%, we consider underwriting results profitable; when the ratio is over 100%, we consider underwriting results unprofitable. The combined ratio does not reflect investment income, other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expenses, other expenses or federal income taxes.
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP for shareholder and other users’ purposes, we report it on a statutory basis for insurance regulatory purposes. We evaluate underwriting profitability based on a combined ratio calculated using statutory accounting principles. The statutory combined ratio represents the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and LAE incurred as a percentage of net earned premium and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred, net of fees, as a percentage of net written premium. Certain expenses are treated differently under statutory and GAAP accounting principles. Under GAAP, commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing new and renewal business are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premium is earned; on a statutory basis these items are expensed as incurred. Additionally, bad debt charge-offs on agent balances and premium receivables are included only in the GAAP combined ratios.

In evaluating the profit performance of our business, we review underwriting profitability using statutory combined ratios. Accordingly, the discussion of underwriting results that follows will focus on these ratios and the components thereof, unless otherwise indicated.

The statutory combined ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by 1.6 and 1.4 points, respectively, from the same periods of 2012. The third quarter of 2013 included $0.9 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves and $6.0 million in favorable development on loss and LAE reserves from the first six months of 2013. The first nine months of 2013 included $2.2 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves. The third quarter of 2012 included $5.3 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves and $2.9 million in unfavorable development on loss and LAE reserves from the first six months of 2012. The first nine months of 2012 included $7.1 million of unfavorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves.

Excluding the effect of development from all periods, the statutory combined ratio increased by 2.7 points and decreased 0.8 points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2012.

The GAAP combined ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by 2.3 points and 1.8 points, respectively, from the same periods of 2012. Excluding the effect of development from all periods, the GAAP combined ratio increased by 1.9 points and decreased by 1.2 points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2012. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to a 0.8 point underestimate of the accident quarter ended September 30, 2012, primarily related to bodily injury coverage, as well as a 1.9 point increase in the 2013 loss ratio as compared with the third quarter of 2012 from an increase in bodily injury severity coverage, primarily in the state of Florida.
The GAAP underwriting ratio declined by 1.3 and 1.5 points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of reduced commission rates on new and renewal business, a lower proportion of new business on which we pay a higher commission rate than renewal business and a lower ratio of fixed costs to premium as a result of premium growth in 2013.
We expect the GAAP combined ratio, excluding reserve development, to be between 97.0% and 98.0% for the full year 2013.
Losses from catastrophes were $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,
respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $2.9 million for the same periods of 2012.

The combined ratio in the Focus States decreased by 1.2 points for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. In both periods, the decline was primarily due to improvement in the loss and LAE ratio in Texas coupled with an overall decline in the underwriting ratio in the Focus States. As we experience premium growth in these states, the ratio of fixed underwriting costs to premium has declined. Also, the average commission ratios declined due to a shift in business mix from new to renewal business. We typically pay lower commission rates on renewal business than on new business.
The combined ratio in the Other States decreased by 7.0 points and 4.4 points, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods of 2012 primarily due to an overall decline in the loss and LAE ratio in these states. We have raised rates and tightened underwriting restrictions in these states in order to improve their profitability.

Annualized returns declined due to an increase in prepayment speeds on unamortized premiums and an increase in sales which resulted in reinvestments at lower rates.
Changes in investment income reflect fluctuations in market rates and changes in average invested assets. Net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 declined compared to the same periods of 2012 primarily due to a decline in book yields because of a general decline in market interest rates for high quality bonds.
In spite of the increase in market interest rates in the second quarter of 2013, the book yield on our portfolio continues to exceed our new money rates. Therefore, we expect that investment returns will continue to decline as proceeds from maturing or prepaid investments are expected to be reinvested at yields lower than the average book yield for the total portfolio.

For our securities held with unrealized losses, we believe, based on our analysis, that (i) we will recover our cost basis in these securities and (ii) we do not intend to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the securities before they recover in value. Should either of these beliefs change with regard to a particular security, a charge for

impairment would likely be required. While it is not possible to predict accurately if or when a specific security will become impaired, charges for other-than-temporary impairments could be material to results of operations in a future period.

Interest Expense
At September 30, 2013 we had outstanding $275.0 million of Senior Notes that accrue interest at 5.0% (the "5.0% Senior Notes"). At September 30, 2012 we also had outstanding $195.0 million of Senior Notes that accrued interest at an effective yield of 5.55% (the "5.5% Senior Notes"). On October 17, 2012, we fully redeemed the 5.5% Senior Notes with proceeds from the issuance of the 5.0% Senior Notes. Interest expense recognized was as follows (in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Funds
We are a holding company and our insurance subsidiaries conduct our operations. Accordingly, we will have continuing cash needs for administrative expenses, the payment of interest on borrowings, shareholder dividends, share repurchases and taxes.
Funds to meet expenditures at the holding company level come primarily from dividends and tax payments from the insurance subsidiaries as well as cash and investments held by the holding company. As of September 30, 2013, the holding company had $112.9 million of cash and investments. In 2013, our insurance subsidiaries may pay us up to $60.8 million in ordinary dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Our insurance subsidiaries generate liquidity to satisfy their obligations primarily by collecting and investing premium in advance of paying claims and generating investment income on their $1.4 billion investment portfolio. Our insurance subsidiaries generated positive cash flows from operations of $46.5 million and $127.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to positive operating cash flows of $21.5 million and $76.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
At September 30, 2013, we had outstanding $275 million principal of the 5.0% Senior Notes. The 5.0% Senior Notes accrue interest at 5.0%, payable semiannually each March and September. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our long-term debt.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2013 there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement.
In June 2013, we filed a "shelf" registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering $300.0 million of our securities, which will allow us to sell any combination of senior or subordinated debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depositary shares and units in one or more offerings should we choose to do so in the future.
Uses of Funds
In February 2013, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.300 per share from $0.225 per share. At this current amount, our 2013 annualized dividend payments would be approximately $13.8 million.
 
On August 3, 2010 our Board of Directors adopted a share and debt repurchase program set to expire on December 31, 2011. On August 2, 2011 our Board of Directors increased the authority under this program by $50.0 million and extended the date to execute the program to December 31, 2012. On November 6, 2012, our Board of Directors again increased the authority under
this share and debt repurchase plan by $25.0 million and extended the date to execute the program to December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2013, we repurchased 67,400 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $57.41. During the second quarter of 2013, we repurchased 79,500 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $56.95. During the third quarter of 2013, we repurchased 19,000 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $63.70. As of September 30, 2013, we had $44.9 million of authority remaining under this program.
We believe that cash balances, cash flows generated from operations or borrowings, and maturities and sales of investments are adequate to meet our future liquidity needs and those of our insurance subsidiaries.
Reinsurance
We use excess of loss, catastrophe and extra-contractual loss reinsurance to mitigate the financial impact of large or
catastrophic losses. During 2013, our catastrophe reinsurance protection covers 100% of $45 million in excess of $5 million. Our excess of loss reinsurance provides protection for commercial auto losses up to $700,000 for claims in excess of $300,000 per occurrence. Our extra-contractual loss reinsurance provides protection for losses up to $10 million in excess of $5 million for any single extra-contractual loss. We also use reinsurance to mitigate losses on our Classic Collector business.
Premium ceded under all reinsurance agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $5.7 million for the same periods of 2012.
Investments
Our consolidated investment portfolio at September 30, 2013 contained approximately $1.4 billion in fixed maturity securities, $76.6 million in equity securities and $4.1 million in short-term investments, all carried at fair value with unrealized gains and

losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, on an after-tax basis. At September 30, 2013, we had pre-tax net unrealized gains of $14.5 million on fixed maturities and pre-tax net unrealized gains of $10.9 million on equity securities. Combined, the pre-tax net unrealized gain declined by $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decline occurred in the fixed portfolio, where the unrealized gain declined by $29.3 million due to a decline in market interest rates. The average option adjusted duration of our fixed maturity portfolio was 3.3 years at September 30, 2013.
Since we carry all of these securities at fair value in our balance sheet, there is virtually no effect on liquidity or financial condition upon the sale and ultimate realization of unrealized gains and losses.
Approximately 91.2% of our fixed maturity investments at September 30, 2013 were rated “investment grade,” and as of the same date, the average credit rating of our fixed maturity portfolio was AA-. Investment grade securities generally bear lower yields and have lower degrees of risk than those that are unrated or non-investment grade. We believe that a high quality investment portfolio is more likely to generate a stable and predictable investment return.
Fair values of instruments are based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets (Level 2) or (iii) valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace (Level 3).
Level 1 securities are U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equity securities held in a rabbi trust. Level 2 securities are comprised of securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities that nationally recognized statistical rating organizations do not rate.

We categorize securities by rating based upon ratings issued by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, where available. If all three ratings are available but not equivalent, we exclude the lowest rating and the lower of the remaining ratings is used. If ratings are only available from two agencies, the lowest is used. This methodology is consistent with that used by the major bond indices. The following table presents the credit rating and fair value ($ in thousands) of our fixed maturity portfolio by major security type at September 30, 2013:
