While the economic environment impacted our investment returns this quarter, we have made significant progress de-risking our investment portfolio to reduce volatility going forward. We have a strong and stable balance sheet and we believe we are in a good position to capitalize on a rising rate environment.

Second Quarter 2022 Summary

Consolidated underwriting income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $38.8 million compared to underwriting income of $49.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in underwriting results was due to a higher combined ratio, partially offset by a higher earned premium volume (93.1% and $568.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 89.1% and $452.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021).

Consolidated underwriting income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $72.3 million compared to underwriting income of $57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in underwriting results was due to a higher earned premium volume, partially offset by a higher combined ratio ($1,098.1 million and 93.4%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $697.5 million and 91.6%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021).

Reportable Segments

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began classifying our business into two reportable segments – Reinsurance and Insurance & Services.

Core Underwriting Results

Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute our “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliations in “Segment Reporting”. We believe it is important to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Core results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included income of $20.2 million compared to income of $40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 consists of underwriting income of $9.6 million (98.3% combined ratio) and net services income of $10.6 million, compared to underwriting income of $31.3 million (93.2% combined ratio) and net services income of $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in underwriting income was primarily driven by higher catastrophe losses, lower favorable loss reserve development, and the shift in business mix away from Reinsurance to Insurance & Services, which has a higher contribution from longer-tail casualty business that typically carry higher loss and combined ratios. The change in net services income was primarily driven by the increased service revenue from the business growth in IMG, which benefited from increased demand for its travel insurance products and services, and new MGA relationships, partially offset by investment loss from Strategic Investments of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to investment gains from Strategic Investments of $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $16.2 million, or 2.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, from South African floods and Midwest U.S. storms compared to $12.7 million, or 2.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, from European windstorms for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Core results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included income of $46.9 million compared to income of $98.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consists of underwriting income of $22.3 million (98.0% combined ratio) and net services income of $24.6 million, compared to underwriting income of $46.5 million (93.5% combined ratio) and net services income of $51.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in underwriting income was primarily driven by higher catastrophe losses, losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the shift in business mix away from Reinsurance to Insurance & Services, which has a higher contribution from longer-tail casualty business that typically carry higher loss and combined ratios, and lower prior year favorable development. The change in net services income was primarily driven by the gain from our investment in Pie Insurance included in the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by higher margins achieved in our IMG business for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including losses from the political risk, trade credit, and aviation lines of business, were $13.2 million, or 1.2 percentage points on the combined ratio. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $23.1 million, or 2.1 percentage points on the combined ratio, from the South African floods, Midwest U.S. storms, European February storms and Australian flooding compared to $18.4 million, or 2.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, from European windstorms and winter storm Uri for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Reinsurance Segment

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Reinsurance incurred a segment loss of $0.2 million (100.1% combined ratio) for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to segment income of $28.8 million (91.5% combined ratio) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net underwriting results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was driven by higher catastrophe losses, prior period adverse loss development, and a business mix shift to casualty lines, which carry higher attritional loss ratios than property lines excluding catastrophe losses.

Reinsurance gross premiums written were $378.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $0.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by the growth in the Casualty business. This was partially offset by the lower premiums written from reduced exposure and enhanced risk selection in the Property business.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Reinsurance generated segment income of $2.9 million (99.6% combined ratio) for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to segment income of $45.3 million (91.6% combined ratio) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net underwriting results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to higher catastrophe losses, higher prior period adverse loss development, and a business mix shift to casualty lines, which carry higher attritional loss ratios than property lines excluding catastrophe losses.

Reinsurance gross premiums written were $902.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $366.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by a full quarter of legacy Sirius Group premiums in the first quarter of 2022 and the growth in the Casualty business, partially offset by the lower premiums written from reduced exposure and enhanced risk selection in the Property business.

Insurance & Services Segment

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Insurance & Services generated segment income of $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to segment income of $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Segment income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 consists of underwriting income of $9.8 million (96.1% combined ratio) and net services income of $10.6 million, compared to underwriting income of $2.9 million (97.8% combined ratio) and net services income of $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The improvement in underwriting results was primarily driven by increased premium volume in both our property & casualty strategic partnerships and A&H business, as well as a lower combined ratio due to lower net acquisition expenses due to business mix. The increase in net services income is primarily driven by higher margins achieved in our IMG business.

Insurance & Services gross premiums written were $433.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $237.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by growth in our property & casualty strategic partnerships with Pie Insurance, Arcadian and Corvus Insurance, as well as growth in A&H.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Insurance & Services generated segment income of $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to segment income of $52.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Segment income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consists of underwriting income of $19.4 million (95.8% combined ratio) and net services income of $24.6 million, compared to underwriting income of $1.5 million (99.2% combined ratio) and net services income of $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The lower combined ratio is primarily due to a lower net acquisition cost ratio due to business mix. The decrease in net services income is primarily driven by the gain from our investment in Pie Insurance included in the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by higher margins achieved in our IMG business for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Insurance & Services gross premiums written were $917.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $530.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by growth across Insurance & Services as well as the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter in the first quarter of 2021 from the legacy Sirius Group companies, as well a growth in premiums from strategic partnerships and A&H.

Investments

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income was $(141.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $77.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Investment results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to the net investment loss of $57.3 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a (12.5)% return driven by a detraction from long event/fundamental equities; credit, including corporate credit and asset-backed securities; and from late stage private positions. These losses were partially offset by contribution from interest rate hedges and single name short equity positions. In addition to losses on the TP Enhanced Fund, we recognized losses of $58.0 million, or (1.8)%, on our debt securities and $0.9 million, or (0.5)%, on our equity securities and other long-term investment portfolios, primarily due to rising interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency movements and widening credit spreads. Our fixed income portfolio is positioned shorter than liabilities.

Investment results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were driven by net investment income of $44.7 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a 3.7% return. The return was primarily attributable to long event/fundamental equities, particularly in the enterprise technology and healthcare sectors, as well as corporate and structured credit. In addition, we recognized net investment income of $35.5 million on fixed maturity, short term, cash equivalents and alternative investments. This was mainly attributable to unrealized gains of $25.5 million resulting from both market appreciation and favorable foreign exchange developments.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income was $(346.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $263.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Investment results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to a net investment loss of $185.6 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a (25.9)% return driven by a detraction from long event/fundamental equities; credit, including corporate credit and asset-backed securities; and from late stage private positions. These losses were partially offset by contribution from interest rate hedges and single name short equity positions. In addition to losses on the TP Enhanced Fund, we recognized losses of $117.3 million, or (3.6)%, on our debt securities and $2.0 million, or (0.6)%, on our equity securities and other long-term investment portfolios, primarily due to rising interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency movements and widening credit spreads.

Investment results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily attributable to net investment income of $197.9 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a 18.9% return. The return was primarily attributable to long event/fundamental equities, in particular exposure to long-held private securities in the fintech and enterprise technology sectors that either went public or were listed in public markets during the first half of 2021. In addition, we recognized an unrealized gain of $35.4 million from our investment in Pie Insurance and $13.2 million in unrealized gains in other private equity and hedge fund investments for the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by unrealized losses in debt securities and cash equivalents of $11.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics

In presenting SiriusPoint’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). SiriusPoint’s management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of SiriusPoint’s financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes it is important to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects the Company’s decision to exit the runoff business. Basic book value per share, tangible basic book value per share, diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share are also non-GAAP financial measures. SiriusPoint’s management believes that long-term growth in book value per share is an important measure of the Company’s financial performance because it allows management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, SiriusPoint’s management believes this metric is useful to investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in the industry that also report a similar measure. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS & OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company’s two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is important to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Core underwriting income – calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income – consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services non-controlling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs, and net investment gains from Strategic Investments which are net investment gains/losses from investment in our strategic partners. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company’s services provided, including investment returns on non-consolidated investment positions held.

Core income – consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio – calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. This ratio is a key indicator of our underwriting profitability.

Basic Book Value Per Share, Tangible Basic Book Value Per Share, Diluted Book Value Per Share, Tangible Diluted Book Value Per Share

Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of issued unvested restricted shares, at period end. While restricted shares are outstanding, they are excluded from Basic book value per share because they are unvested.

Tangible basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The Company’s management believes tangible book value per share is useful to investors because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of intangible assets.

Diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share, as presented, are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated similar to the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. The dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options are calculated in a manner consistent with how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. We have also followed a similar approach for calculating dilution for warrants, Series A preference shares, Upside Rights and other potentially dilutive securities issued as part of our acquisition of Sirius Group. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they measure the realizable value of shareholder returns in a manner consistent with how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Also, the tangible diluted book value per share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the of basic book value per share, tangible basic book value per share, diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(1) As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there was no dilution as the conversion would result in the forfeiture of all of the Series A preference shares.

(2) As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there was no dilution as a result of the Company’s share price being under the lowest exercise price for warrants.

Other Financial Measures

Annualized Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing annualized net income (loss) available to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the period by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders’ equity balances at the beginning and end of the period.

Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was calculated as follows:
