Highlights of results from the quarter and six months include:
"Results for the first half of 2022 reflect the benefits of our diversified, three-engine architecture of insurance, investments, and Markel Ventures. Within our insurance engine, new business opportunities, an attractive pricing environment and solid portfolio construction contributed to strong top line growth and, when combined with continued expense management efforts, resulted in a 90% combined ratio for the first six months of 2022," said Thomas S. Gayner and Richard R. Whitt, Co-Chief Executive Officers. "Our Markel Ventures engine provided additional thrust with another record-setting quarter for both revenues and EBITDA."
"Within our investments engine, our results were impacted by the sharp decline in the equity markets, as well as rising interest rates in the bond market, during the first half of 2022. Given our focus on long-term performance and investing discipline, we are confident in the durability of our portfolio and understand that periodic volatility is to be expected," Gayner and Whitt remarked. "Looking forward to the remainder of 2022, we are well-positioned to execute on our business objectives and remain focused on building long-term shareholder value."
We believe our financial performance is most meaningfully measured over longer periods of time, which tends to mitigate the effects of short-term volatility and also aligns with the longer-term perspective we apply to operating our businesses. We generally use five-year periods to measure our performance. Over the five-year period ended June 30, 2022, the compound annual growth in book value per common share was 7%. Over the five-year period ended June 30, 2022, our share price increased at a compound annual rate of 6%.
