"We remain confident that we will increase our share of the education market as we grow our increasingly diversified business over the next several years," Zuraitis said. "Despite the outsized catastrophe losses, first-quarter results confirm that we remain on pace toward our business objectives for this year. We continue to expect 2023 core EPS in the range of $2.00 to $2.30. In 2024, we believe we will return to a double-digit return on equity as core EPS approaches $4, driven by our profitable growth."
