  • Gross premiums written increased by $112.1 million, or 9.7%, to $1.3 billion, primarily driven by growth in both new and existing business in casualty and specialty reinsurance classes, partially offset by a decrease in property reinsurance and insurance classes as a result of lower reinstatement premiums and rate decreases.

  • The attritional loss ratio (current year), net of reinsurance, was 56.9%. The increase of 3.0 points was primarily driven by a change in business mix, including an increase in casualty reinsurance business and the impact of one large loss in our specialty and property reinsurance classes.

  • Net unfavorable attritional prior year reserve development, net of reinsurance, was $5.7 million, primarily driven by additional loss information in relation to the Baltimore Bridge collapse, and unfavorable development in certain casualty classes, partially offset by favorable development in specialty and property classes.

  • The acquisition cost ratio increased by 1.3 points compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a change in business mix.

  • The other underwriting expense ratio decreased by 2.1 points compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by Bermuda substance-based tax credits, increased performance based management fees, which offset our underwriting expense ratio, and an increase in net premiums earned.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

We present our results of operations in a way that we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements that management uses to assess our operating results are considered non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, each promulgated by the SEC. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Where appropriate, reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included below.

Operating Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, Operating Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders per Common Share – Diluted and Operating Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity – Annualized

Operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as used herein, differs from net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity and short term investments, and net foreign exchange gains and losses. We also use operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to calculate operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per common share – diluted and operating return on average common shareholders’ equity – annualized.

We believe that operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per common share – diluted and operating return on average common shareholders’ equity – annualized are meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance.

The following tables are a reconciliation of: net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders; net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per common share – diluted to operating income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per common share – diluted; and return on average common shareholders’ equity – annualized to operating return on average common shareholders’ equity – annualized. Comparative information for the prior periods presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

Underwriting Income (Loss)

We calculate underwriting income (loss) on a pre-tax basis as net premiums earned less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses (net of third party fee income). We believe that this measure of our performance focuses on the core fundamental performance of the Company’s reportable segments in any given period and is not distorted by investment market conditions, corporate expense allocations or income tax effects.

The following table reconciles underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Third Party Fee Income

Third party fee income includes income that is incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. It is primarily comprised of performance and management fees earned by the Bermuda segment that were generated by our third party capital manager, Ada Capital Management Limited, and fees earned by the International segment for management services provided to consortia and third party syndicates. We believe that this measure is a relevant component of our underwriting income (loss).

Other Underwriting Expenses

Other underwriting expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in Note 8, Segment Reporting in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere.

Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our reportable segments. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from other underwriting expenses, and therefore, underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to other underwriting expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

Other Underwriting Expense Ratio

Other Underwriting Expense Ratio is a measure of the other underwriting expenses (net of third party fee income) incurred by the Company and is expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned.

Loss Ratio

Attritional Loss Ratio – current year is the attritional losses incurred by the company relating to the current year divided by net premiums earned.

Attritional Loss Ratio – prior year development is the attritional losses incurred by the company relating to prior years divided by net premiums earned.

Catastrophe Loss Ratio – current year is the catastrophe losses incurred by the company relating to the current year divided by net premiums earned.

Catastrophe Loss Ratio – prior year development is the catastrophe losses incurred by the company relating to prior years divided by net premiums earned.

Combined Ratio

Combined Ratio is a measure of our underwriting profitability and is expressed as the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, acquisition cost ratio and other underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit, while a combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This information includes “forward looking statements” pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “target,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” or “anticipates,” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions. These forward-looking statements appear in a number of places throughout and relate to matters such as our industry, growth strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, business plans (including syndicate capacity forecasts), and other financial and operating information. By their nature, forward-looking statements: speak only as of the date they are made; are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance; and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such risks, uncertainties, and other important factors include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), our other subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following:

  • challenges from competitors, including those arising from industry consolidation, alternative capital and technological advancements, including the increasing use of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence;

  • unpredictable events, including natural catastrophes and man-made disasters, global climate change and emerging claim, litigation and coverage issues that may increase loss severity or expand coverage obligations;

  • our ability, or that of the third parties on which we rely, to ensure reserves are adequate to cover actual losses and to accurately assess underwriting risk, models, assumptions, data quality and the pricing of risks, particularly in long-tail, low-frequency or emerging lines of business;

  • our ability to defend and protect our intellectual property rights, including our proprietary technology platforms and data, to comply with obligations under license and technology agreements or to obtain or renew licenses to technology or data on reasonable terms;

  • the impact of risks associated with human error, misconduct or fraud, model uncertainty, cybersecurity threats such as cyber-attacks and security breaches, misuse of artificial intelligence and our reliance on third-party information technology systems that may fail, be disrupted or require replacement;

  • our ability to secure necessary credit facilities, letters of credit or other forms of financing or collateral on favorable terms or at all;

  • our limited financial and operational flexibility due to covenants and other restrictions in our existing or future credit facilities and debt arrangements;

  • our exposure to the credit risk of insurance and reinsurance intermediaries on which we rely for the collection of premiums and payment of claims;

  • our failure to pay claims in a timely manner, significant reserve strengthening, or the need to sell investments under unfavorable market or other conditions in order to meet liquidity requirements;

  • downgrades, potential downgrades or other negative actions by rating agencies, including changes in rating agency methodologies;

  • our ability to manage risks associated with adverse macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability and global events, including current or anticipated military conflicts, public health crises, terrorism, sanctions, inflation, rising interest rates, energy price volatility and other disruptions;

  • the cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance business, which may result in declines in pricing and more competitive terms and conditions;

  • our results of operations fluctuating significantly from period to period and not being indicative of our long-term prospects;

  • our ability to execute our strategy and to adapt our business and strategic plans in response to changing market, regulatory and competitive conditions;

  • our dependence on key executives and other personnel, including the potential loss of Bermudian or other critical personnel, and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees in highly competitive labor markets;

  • foreign operational risks, including foreign currency risk, political instability, regulatory uncertainty and differing legal regimes in jurisdictions where we operate;

  • our ability to identify, execute and integrate growth opportunities, including acquisitions or other strategic transactions, and to realize the anticipated benefits of such initiatives;
