G. Janelle Frost, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, AMERISAFE continued to see loss cost declines and robust competition in the states we actively market and hazard classes we underwrite. These conditions suppressed premium, with policy count written in the quarter only down slightly. However, AMERISAFEs profitability remained strong. Our focus on managing expenses benefitted this quarter from a loss assessment change. We also continued to reach favorable outcomes on prior year claims. Our underwriting profit, along with investment returns, produced a 19.8% return on average equity for the quarter, and a strong capital position supported an extraordinary dividend for shareholders.

This decrease in operating cash flow was due to a $29.1 million decrease in premium collections as a result of lower written premium in prior periods, and a $2.2 million decrease in investment income.
We believe that the higher premiums typically paid by our policyholders, together with our disciplined underwriting and safety, claims and audit services, provide us with the opportunity to earn attractive returns for our shareholders.
The favorable loss development we experienced across accident years was largely due to favorable case reserve development from closed claims and claims where the worker had reached maximum medical improvement.
The increase in ceded premiums as a percentage of gross premiums earned is due to increased pricing for our 2020 reinsurance program.
