, the more commonly used are summarized in the Acronyms section.KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND RATIOSThe Company considers the measures and ratios in the following discussion to be key performance indicators for its businesses. Management believes that these ratios and measures are useful in understanding the underlying trends in The Hartford’s businesses.
