Safeco Warns of Third-Quarter Earnings Shortfall

 

Safeco(SAFC Quote) warned that its third-quarter earnings will be 5 cents to 10 cents a share, well below the 14-analyst First Call/Thomson Financial estimate of 25 cents a share. The company said it was hurt by higher-than-expected commercial and homeowner underwriting losses.

Friday, the company said it hired executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates to conduct the search for a new chief executive. In August, the financial services holding company announced that Chairman and Chief Executive Roger Eigsti planned to retire Dec. 31.
