Item 2.02	Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company") made revisions to its Investor Financial Supplement ("IFS") for each of the quarters ended from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, as referenced in Item 7.01 below. These revisions are incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.



Item 7.01	Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 25, 2019, the Company made available to investors selected quarterly financial information for each of the quarters ended from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 to illustrate the impact on certain of the Company’s Commercial Lines segment financial measures of realigning the lines of business among small commercial, middle & large commercial, and global specialty (formerly small commercial, middle market and specialty commercial) to reflect the Company's management reporting structure, as announced on February 4, 2019 and effective upon the closing of the acquisition of The Navigators Group, Inc. ("Navigators Group") on May 23, 2019. In total, the previously reported financial information for the Commercial Lines segment has not changed--only the realignment of business lines within the segment has changed as a result of the new management reporting structure. The realignment included moving a portion of excess and surplus lines from small commercial to global specialty, moving livestock business from middle market to global specialty and moving national accounts and captive programs from specialty commercial to middle & large commercial. In addition, financial products and bond, that had been included in specialty commercial, are now included in global specialty. The Company is making this information available to provide investors an opportunity to become familiar with the impact of these changes prior to the Company’s earnings release for the quarter ending June 30, 2019. A copy of the revised IFS is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference and furnished herewith.

The recast does not incorporate Navigators' results for the periods presented.
