Oldwick, NJ -(BusinessWire)- AM Best recently affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” (Good) of Alaska Timber Insurance, Inc. (ATI) (Ketchikan, AK). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is negative.
Concurrently, AM Best has withdrawn these ratings as the company has requested to no longer participate in AM Best’s interactive rating process.
The ratings reflect ATI’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its marginal operating performance, very limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
AM Best’s assessment of ATI’s business profile is viewed as very limited due to management’s decision to discontinue writing new workers’ compensation policies and to run off its existing policies.
As of Jan. 1, 2023, the company non-renewed its current book of business and will no longer have any policies in-force.
