BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The
unaudited
consolidated
financial
statements
of
the
Company
as
of March
September
30,
2022
and
December
31, 2022 and December 31,
2021 and for the three and nine months
ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 include all
adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring
accruals, which,
in the
opinion of
management, are
necessary for
a fair
statement
of the
results
on
an
interim
basis.
Certain
financial
information,
which
is
normally
included
in
annual
financial
statements
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of America
(“GAAP”),
has
been
omitted
since
it
is
not
required
for
interim
reporting
purposes.
The
December
31,
2021
consolidated
balance sheet data
was derived
from audited
financial statements
but does not
include all disclosures
required by
GAAP.
The
results
for
the
three
and
nine
months
ended
September
30,
2022
and
2021
are
not
necessarily
indicative
of the
results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for
a full
year.
These financial
statements
should be
read in
conjunction with
the audited
consolidated
financial
statements
and
notes
thereto
for
the
years
ended
December
31,
2021,
2020
and
2019,
included in the Company’s most
recent Form 10-K filing.

The Company
consolidates
the results
of operations
and financial
position of
all voting
interest
entities ("VOE")
in
which
the
Company
has
a
controlling
financial
interest
and
all
variable
interest
entities
("VIE")
in
which
the
Company
is considered
to be
the primary
beneficiary.
The consolidation
assessment,
including the
determination
as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE,
depends on the facts and circumstances
surrounding each entity.

The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
(and
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities) at
the date
of the
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities (and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues
and expenses
during the
reporting period. Ultimate actual results
could differ,
possibly materially,
from those estimates.

All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain
reclassifications
and
format
changes
have
been
made
to
prior
years’
amounts
to
conform
to
the
2022
presentation.

Application of Recently Issued Accounting
Standard Changes.

The Company
did not
adopt any
new accounting
standards
that had
a material
impact during
the three
and nine
months
ended March 31,
September
30,
2022.
The
Company
assessed
the
adoption
impacts
of
recently
issued
accounting
standards by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements
as well
as material updates
to previous assessments,
if any,
from the Company’s
Annual Report on
Form 10-K for
the year
ended December
31, 2021.
There were
no new material accounting
standards
issued in
the three nine
months ended March 31,
September 30,
2022, that impactedare expected to have
a material impact to Holdings.

During
the
third
quarter
of
2022,
the
Company
re-designated
a
portion
of
its
fixed
maturity
securities
from
its
fixed maturity
– available
for sale
portfolio to
its fixed
maturity –
held to
maturity portfolio.
The fair
value of
the
8
securities reclassified
at the date
of transfer
was $
722
million, net
of allowance for
current expected
credit losses,
which
was
subsequently
recognized
as
the
new
amortized
cost
basis.
As
of the
date
of transfer,
these
securities
had an unrealized appreciation (depreciation) loss
of $
53
million, which remained in accumulated
other comprehensive income
on the balance
sheet, and will
be amortized into
income through an
adjustment to the
yields of the
underlying securities over
the
remaining life of the securities.
The Company evaluated
fixed maturity securities
classified as held to maturity
for current expected
credit losses as
of
September
30,
2022
utilizing
risk
characteristics
of
each
security,
including
credit
rating,
remaining
time
to
maturity,
adjusted
for
prepayment
considerations,
and
subordination
level,
and
applying
default
and
recovery
rates, which include the Company’s investmentsincorporation
of historical credit loss experience and macroeconomic
forecasts, to develop
an
estimate
of
current
expected
credit
losses.
These
fixed
maturities
classified
as
held
to
maturity
are
of
a
high
credit quality and are all rated investment
grade as of September 30, 2022.

The
aggregate
fair
value
and
gross
unrealized
losses
related
to
fixed
maturity
securities
available
for
sale
in
an
unrealized
loss
position
at
September
30,
2022
were
$
10
billion
and
$
1
billion,
respectively.
The
fair
value
of
securities for
the single
issuer
(the United
States
government)
whose securities
comprised
the largest
unrealized
loss position
at March 31, 2022 were $8.9 billion and $420.3 million, respectively. The market value of securities for the single issuer (the United States government) whose securities comprised the largest unrealized loss position at March 31, September 30,
2022, did not
exceed 2.8%
4.5
% of the
overall market fair
value of
the Company’s
fixed maturity securities. The market value of the
securities available
for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022, comprised less than 0.6% of the Company’s fixed maturity securities. sale.
In addition,
as indicated
on the above
table, there
was no
significant concentration
of
unrealized
losses
in
any
one
market
sector.
The
$
830
million
of
unrealized
losses
related
to
fixed
maturity
securities
available
for
sale
that
have
been
in
an
unrealized
loss
position
for
less
than
one
year
were
generally
comprised of
domestic
and foreign
corporate
securities, asset
backed
securities and
agency
residential
mortgage
backed
securities. Of
these unrealized
losses,
$
723
million
were related
to
securities that
were rated
investment
grade
by
at
least
one
nationally
recognized
rating
agency.
The
$
301
million
of
unrealized
losses
related
to
fixed
maturity
securities
available
for
sale
in
an
unrealized
loss
position
for
more
than
one
year
related
primarily
to
domestic
and
foreign
corporate
securities
as
well
as
agency
residential
mortgage-backed
securities.
Of
these
unrealized
losses
$
273
million
were
related
to
securities
that
were
rated
investment
grade
by
at
least
one
nationally recognized rating
agency.
In all instances, there were
no projected cash flow shortfalls
to recover the full
book
value
of
the
investments
and
the
related
interest
obligations.
The
mortgage-backed
securities
still
have
excess
credit
coverage
and
are
current
on
interest
and
principal
payments.
Based
upon
the
Company’s
current
evaluation
of securities
in an
unrealized
loss position
as of
September
30, 2022,
the unrealized
losses
are due
to
changes
in
interest
rates
and
non-issuer
specific
credit
spreads
and
are
not
credit
related.
In
addition,
the
contractual
terms
of
these
securities
do
not
permit
these
securities
to
be
settled
at
a
price
less
than
their
amortized cost.
The Company,
given the size
of its investment
portfolio and capital
position, does not
have the
intent to
sell these
securities; and
it is
more likely
than not
that the
Company will
not have
to sell
the security
before
recovery
of its
cost
basis.
In
addition,
all
securities
currently
in
an
unrealized
loss
position
are
current
with
respect
to
principal
and interest payments.
The
tables
below
display
the
aggregate
fair
value
and
gross
unrealized
depreciation
of
fixed
maturity
securities
available
for
sale, by
security type
and contractual
maturity,
in each
case subdivided
according
to
length
of time
that individual securities
had been in a
continuous unrealized
loss position for
the periods indicated.
The amounts
presented
in the

include $

fair value
and $(

of gross

as of December 31, 2021 related

an
unrealized
loss
position
at
December 31,
2021 were
$
5.9
billion and
$
86
million, respectively.
The fair
value
of securities
for the
issuer (the
United States
government)
whose securities
comprised the
largest unrealized
loss position
at December
31, 2021,
did not
exceed
2.1
% of the
overall
fair value
of the
Company’s
fixed maturity
securities available
for sale.
The fair
value
of
the
securities
for
the
issuer
with
the
second
largest
unrealized
loss
comprised
less
than
0.4
%
of
the
Company’s
fixed
maturity
securities available
for
sale. In
addition, as
indicated
on the
above
table,
there
was
no
significant concentration
of unrealized losses in
any one market sector.
The $336.6 $
71
million of unrealized
losses related
to
fixed
maturity
securities
that
have
been
in
an
unrealized
loss
position
for
less
than
one
year
were
generally
comprised of domestic and foreign
corporate securities,
foreign government securities,
asset backed securities and
agency
residential
mortgage
backed
securities.
Of
these
unrealized
losses, $299.7
$
62
million
were
related
to
securities
that were rated investment
grade by at least one nationally
recognized rating agency.
The $83.7 $
15
million of unrealized
losses related
to fixed
maturity securities
available
for
sale in
an unrealized
loss position
for more
than one
year
related
primarily
to
domestic
and
foreign
corporate
securities
as
well
as
agency
residential mortgage-backed
mortgage
backed
securities. Of these unrealized
losses $77.1 $
12
million were related
to securities that
were rated
investment grade
by at
least
one
nationally
recognized
rating
agency.
In
all
instances,
there
were
no
projected
cash
flow
shortfalls
to
recover the full book value
of the investments and the
related interest
obligations. The mortgage-backedmortgage
-backed securities
still have excess credit
coverage and are current
on interest and principal payments. Based upon the Company’s current evaluation of securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022, the unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and non-issuer specific credit spreads and are not credit related. In addition, the contractual terms of these securities do not permit these securities to be settled at a price less than their amortized cost.

The Company, given the size of its investment portfolio and capital position, does not have the intent to sell these securities; and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. In addition, all securities currently in an unrealized loss position are current with respect to principal and interest payments.

The market value of the securities for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss comprised less than 0.4% of the Company’s fixed maturity securities. In addition, as indicated on the above table, there was no significant concentration of unrealized losses in any one market sector. The $70.9 million of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were generally comprised of domestic and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities, asset backed securities and agency residential mortgage backed securities.

accounting
with
changes in value reported through
net investment income.
The net investment income
from limited partnerships
is
dependent upon the Company’s
share of the net asset
values of interests
underlying each limited partnership.
Due
to
the
timing
of
receiving
financial
information
from
these
partnerships,
the
results
are
generally
reported
on
a
one
month
or
quarter
lag.
If the
Company
determines
there
has
been
a
significant
decline
in
value
of
a
limited
partnership during this lag period, a loss will be recorded
in the period in which the Company identifies the
decline.

Variable Interest
Entities

The
Company
is
engaged
with
various
special
purpose
entities
and
other
entities
that
are
deemed
to
be
VIEs
primarily as an investor
through normal investment
activities but also as
an investment manager.
A VIE is an
entity
that either has
investors
that lack certain
essential characteristics
of a controlling
financial interest,
such as

simple

11


simple majority kick-out

rights, or lacks
sufficient funds
to finance its
own activities without
financial support provided
by
other
entities.
The
Company
performs
ongoing
qualitative
assessments
of
its
VIEs
to
determine
whether
the
Company
has
a
controlling
financial
interest
in the
VIE and
therefore
is
the
primary
beneficiary.
The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs
is
deemed
to determine whether
have
a
controlling
financial
interest
when
it
has
both
the Company has a controlling financial interest in
ability
to
direct
the VIE and therefore is
activities
that
most
significantly
impact
the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the
economic
performance
of the
VIE
and
the
obligation
to
absorb
losses
or
right
to
receive
benefits
from
the
VIE
that
could
potentially
be
significant
to
the
VIE.
Based
on
the
Company’s
assessment,
if
it
determines
it
is
the
primary
beneficiary,
the
Company
consolidates
the
VIE
in
the
Company’s
Consolidated
Financial Statements.
As of March 31,September
30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021,
the Company
did not hold
any securities
for which it is the primary beneficiary.

The
Company,
through
normal
investment
activities,
makes
passive
investments
in
general
and
limited
partnerships
and other
alternative investments.
For these
non-consolidated
VIEs, the
Company has
determined it
is
not
the
primary
beneficiary
as
it
has
no
ability
to
direct
activities
that
could
significantly
affect
the
economic
performance
of
the
investments.
The
Company’s
maximum
exposure
to
loss
as
of March 31,
September
30,
2022
and
December 31,
2021
is
limited
to
the
total
carrying
value
of $1.7
$
1.8
billion
and $1.7
$
1.7
billion,
respectively,
which
are
included
in
general
and
limited
partnerships
and
other
alternative
investments
in
Other
Invested
Assets
in
the
Company's
Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
As of March 31,
September
30, 2022,
the Company
has outstanding
commitments
totaling $0.7 billion
$
766
million
whereby
the
Company
is
committed
to
fund
these
investments
and
may
be
called
by
the
partnership
during
the
commitment
period
to
fund
the
purchase
of new
investments
and
partnership
expenses.
These
investments
are
generally
of
a
passive
nature
in
that
the
Company
does
not
take
an
active
role
in
management.

In addition, the Company
makes passive investments
in structured securities issued
by VIEs for which the Company
is not
the manager.
These investments
are
included in
asset-backed
securities,
which includes
collateralized
loan
obligations
and
are
reported
in
fixed
maturities available-for-sale.
available-for-sale
and
fixed
maturities
held
to
maturity.
The
Company
has
not
provided
financial
or
other
support
with
respect
to
these
investments
other
than
its
original
investment.
For these
investments,
the Company
determined it
is not
the primary
beneficiary due
to the
relative
13
size of
the Company’s
investment in
comparison to
the principal amount
of the structured
securities issued by
the
VIEs, the level
of credit subordination
which reduces
the Company’s
obligation to
absorb losses or
right to
receive
benefits
and
the
Company’s
inability
to
direct
the
activities
that
most
significantly
impact
the
economic
performance of the VIEs.
The Company’s maximum
exposure to loss
on these investments
is limited to the amount
of the Company’s investment.

FAIR VALUE

GAAP guidance regarding fair
value measurements addresses how
companies should measure fair value
when they
are required to use fair value
measures for recognition or disclosure
purposes under GAAP and provides a common
definition of fair
value to be
used throughout GAAP.
It defines fair
value as the
price that would
be received to
sell
an asset or
paid to transfer
a liability in
an orderly fashion
between market
participants at
the measurement date.
In
addition,
it
establishes
a
three-level
valuation
hierarchy
for
the
disclosure
of
fair
value
measurements.
The
valuation
hierarchy
is based
on the
transparency
of inputs to
the valuation
of an
asset or
liability.
The level
in the
hierarchy
within which
a given
fair value
measurement
falls is
determined based
on the
lowest level
input that
is
significant to the measurement,
with Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest
priority.

14


16

The levels in the hierarchy
are defined as follows:

Level 1
Inputs to
the valuation
methodology are
observable inputs
that reflect
unadjusted
quoted prices
for
identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

Level 2:
Inputs
to
the valuation
methodology
include
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
and liabilities
in
active
markets,
and
inputs
that
are
observable
for
the
asset
or
liability,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument;

Level 3:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are
unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.

The
Company’s
fixed
maturity
and
equity
securities
are
primarily
managed
by
third
party
investment
asset
managers.
The
investment
asset
managers
managing
publicly
traded
securities
obtain
prices
from
nationally
recognized pricing services.
These services seek to utilize
market data
and observations in their evaluation
process.
They use pricing
applications that vary
by asset class and
incorporate available
market information
and when fixed
maturity
securities
do
not
trade
on
a
daily
basis
the
services
will
apply
available
information
through
processes
such as
benchmark curves,
benchmarking of
like
securities,
sector groupings
and matrix
pricing. In
addition, they
use
model
processes,
such
as
the
Option
Adjusted
Spread
model
to
develop
prepayment
and
interest
rate
scenarios for securities that have prepayment
features.

The investment
asset managers
do not make
any changes to
prices received from
either the pricing
services or the
investment
brokers.
In
addition,
the
investment
asset
managers
have
procedures
in
place
to
review
the
reasonableness
of the
prices from
the service
providers
and may
request verification
of the
prices. The
Company
also
continually
performs
quantitative
and
qualitative
analysis
of
prices,
including
but
not
limited
to
initial
and
ongoing
review
of
pricing
methodologies,
review
of
prices
obtained
from
pricing
services
and
third
party
investment
asset managers, have procedures in place to
review the reasonableness of the prices from the service providers
pricing statistics
and may request verification of the prices. The Company also continually performs quantitative trends,
and qualitative analysis comparison
of prices including but not limited to initial and ongoing review of pricing methodologies, review of prices obtained from pricing services and third party investment asset managers, review of pricing statistics and trends, and comparison of prices
for certain
securities
with a
secondary price
source for
reasonableness. No
material variances
were noted
during these
price validation
procedures.
In limited
situations,
where
financial
markets
are
inactive
or
illiquid,
the
Company
may
use its
own
assumptions
about
future
cash
flows
and
risk-adjusted
discount
rates
to
determine
fair
value.
At March
September

2022,
$
1.6

were
obtained
from
publicly
published
sources
or
nationally
recognized pricing vendors.

Equity
securities
denominated
in
U.S.
currency
with
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
are
categorized
as
Level
1
since
the
quoted
prices
are
directly
observable.
Equity
securities
traded
on
foreign
exchanges
are categorized
as Level 1 since the quoted prices are directly observable. Equity securities traded on foreign exchanges are categorized as Level
2 due
to the
added input
of a
foreign
exchange
conversion
rate
to determine
fair or market value. The Company uses foreign
currency exchange rates
published by nationally recognized sources.

Fixed maturity
securities listed
in the
tables below
are generally
categorized
as Level
2, since
a particular
security
may not have
traded but the
pricing services are
able to use
valuation models
with observable market
inputs such
as
interest
rate
yield
curves
and
prices
for
similar
fixed
maturity
securities
in
terms
of
issuer,
maturity
and
seniority.
For foreign
government
securities and
foreign corporate
securities, the
fair values
provided by
the third
party
pricing
services

currencies,
and
where
applicable,
are

exchange rates from
nationally recognized sources.

In addition
to the
valuations from
investment
managers,
some of
the fixed
maturities with
fair values
categorized
as Level
3 result
when prices are

from the nationally
recognized pricing
services. The asset
managers
may

quotes
for

who
are
recognized
as
market
participants
in

which
they
are

the quotes.
The prices
received
from brokers
are
reviewed
for
reasonableness
by the
third
party pricing services in local currencies,asset

If the broker

In addition to the valuations from investment managers, some of the fixed maturities with fair values categorized as Level 3 result when prices are not available from the nationally recognized pricing services. The asset managers may obtain non-binding price quotes for the securities from brokers. The single broker quotes are provided by market makers or broker-dealers who are recognized as market participants in the markets in which they are providing the quotes. The prices received from brokers are reviewed for reasonableness by the third party asset managers and the Company. If the broker quotes are for foreign denominated securities, the quotes are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates from nationally recognized sources.

The
$
779
million
shown
as
transfers
in/(out)
of
Level
3
and
reclassification
of
securities
in/(out)
of
investment
categories for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022 relate
mainly to previously designated
Level 3
securities that
the Company
has reclassified
from “fixed
maturities –
available for
sale” to
“fixed maturities
– held
to
maturity”
during
the
third
quarter
of
2022.
As
“fixed
maturities
held
to
maturity"
are
carried
at
amortized
cost, net of
credit allowances rather
than at fair value
as “fixed maturities
– available for
sale”,
these securities are
no longer included within the fair value
hierarchy table or
in the roll-forward of Level
3 securities. The fair values of
these securities are determined
in a similar manner
as the Company’s
fixed maturity securities
available for sale
as
described
above.
The
fair
values
of
these
securities
incorporate
the
use
of
significant
unobservable
inputs
and
therefore are classified as Level
3 within the fair value hierarchy
as of September 30, 2022.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary
course of business,
the Company is
involved in
lawsuits, arbitrations
and other formal
and informal
dispute resolution
procedures,
the outcomes
of which
will determine
the Company’s
rights and
obligations
under
insurance
and
reinsurance
agreements.
In
some
disputes,
the
Company
seeks
to
enforce
its
rights
under
an
agreement or
to collect
funds owing
to it. In
other matters,
the Company
is resisting
attempts by
others to
collect
funds or
enforce
alleged rights.
These disputes
arise from
time to
time and
are ultimately
resolved
through
both
informal
and
formal
means,
including
negotiated
resolution,
arbitration
and
litigation.
In
all
such
matters,
the
Company believes
that its positions
are legally and
commercially reasonable.
The Company
considers the
statuses
of these proceedings when determining its reserves
for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses.

18


Aside from litigation and arbitrations

related to these insurance and
reinsurance agreements,
the Company is not a
party to any other material litigation
or arbitration.

The war in the Ukraine is ongoing and an evolving event. Economic and legal sanctions have been levied against Russia, specific named individuals and entities connected to the Russian government, as well as businesses located in the Russian Federation and/or owned by Russian nationals by numerous countries, including the United States. The significant political and economic uncertainty surrounding the war and associated sanctions have impacted economic and investment markets both within Russia and around the world. To the best of our knowledge at this time, the Company has limited financial exposure related to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. However, given the ongoing nature of the war and the high degree of uncertainty around both exposures and coverage, a reasonable estimation of potential loss is not credible at this time.

management,
control
of

catastrophe
exposures,
capital,
investments
and
support

based upon
their underwriting results.

less
losses
and
LAE
incurred,
commission

measures
its underwriting

underwriting
expense
ratios,
which,
respectively,
divide
incurred
losses,
commissions and brokerage
and other underwriting expenses by premiums earned.

INCOME TAXES

The
Company
is
domiciled
in
the
United
States
and
has
subsidiaries
domiciled
within
the
United
States
with
significant branches
in Canada and
Singapore. The
Company’s
non-U.S. branches
are subject to
income taxation
at
varying rates in their respective
domiciles.

The Company generally applies
the estimated annual effective
tax rate approach
for calculating its tax provision
for
interim
periods
as prescribed
by
ASC 740-270,
Interim
Reporting.
Under the
estimated
annual
effective
tax
rate
approach,
the
estimated
annual
effective
tax
rate
is
applied
to
the
interim
year-to-date
pre-tax
income/(loss)to
determine
the
income
tax
expense
or
benefit
for
the
year-to-date
period.
The
tax
expense
or
benefit
for
the
quarter
represents
the
difference
between
the
year-to-date
tax
expense
or
benefit
for
the
current
year-to-date
period less such
amount for
the immediately
preceding year-to-date
period. Management
considers the
impact of
all known events in its estimation of the Company’s
annual pre-tax income/(loss) and effective
tax rate.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION

Industry Conditions.

The
worldwide
reinsurance
and
insurance
businesses
are
highly
competitive,
as
well
as
cyclical
by
product
and
market.
As
such,
financial
results
tend
to
fluctuate
with
periods
of
constrained
availability,
higher
rates
and
stronger
profits followed
by periods
of abundant
capacity,
lower rates
and constrained
profitability.
Competition
in
the
types
of
reinsurance
and
insurance
business
that
we
underwrite
is
based
on
many
factors,
including
the
perceived
overall
financial
strength
of
the
reinsurer
or
insurer,
ratings
of
the
reinsurer
or
insurer
by
A.M.
Best
and/or
Standard
&
Poor’s,
underwriting
expertise,
the
jurisdictions
where
the
reinsurer
or
insurer
is
licensed
or
otherwise
authorized,
capacity
and
coverages
offered,
premiums
charged,
other
terms
and
conditions
of
the
reinsurance
and
insurance
business
offered,
services
offered,
speed
of
claims
payment
and
reputation
and
experience in lines written.
Furthermore, the market impact
from these competitive factors
related to reinsurance
and
insurance
is
generally
not
consistent
across
lines
of business,
domestic
and
international
geographical
areas
and distribution channels.

We
compete
in the
U.S. and
international
reinsurance
and insurance
markets
with numerous
global competitors.
Our
competitors
include
independent
reinsurance
and
insurance
companies,
subsidiaries
or
affiliates
of
established
worldwide
insurance
companies,
reinsurance
departments
of certain
insurance
companies,
domestic
and international underwriting operations,
and certain government sponsored
risk transfer vehicles. Some of these
competitors
have greater
financial resources
than we
do and
have established
long term
and continuing
business
relationships,
which
can
be a
significant
competitive
advantage.
In
addition,
the
lack
of strong
barriers
to
entry
into
the
reinsurance
business
and
recently,
the
securitization
of
reinsurance
and
insurance
risks
through
capital
markets provide additional
sources of potential reinsurance
and insurance capacity and competition.

Worldwide
insurance
and reinsurance
market
conditions historically
have been
competitive.
Generally,
there was
ample
insurance
and
reinsurance
capacity
relative
to
demand,
as
well
as
additional
capital
from
the
capital
markets through
insurance linked
financial instruments.
These financial instruments
such as side
cars, catastrophe
bonds and collateralized
reinsurance funds,
provided capital
markets with
access to insurance
and reinsurance
risk
exposure.
The
capital
markets
demand
for
these
products
was
being
primarily
driven
by
a
low
interest
environment
and
the
desire
to
achieve
greater
risk
diversification
and
potentially
higher
returns
on
their
investments.
This
increased
competition
was
generally
having
a
negative
impact
on
rates,
terms
and
conditions;
however,
the
impact
varies
widely
by
market
and
coverage.
Based
on
recent
competitive
behaviors
in
the
insurance
and reinsurance
activity,
natural
catastrophe
events and
the macroeconomic
backdrop,
there has
been
some dislocation
in the
market which
should have
a low interest environment and the desire to achieve greater risk diversification and potentially higher returns on their investments. This increased competition was generally having a negative positive
impact on
rates terms
and conditions; however, the impact varies widely byterms
and conditions
generally,
though local market and coverage.

The industry continues to deal with the impacts of a global pandemic, COVID-19 and its subsequent variants. We continue to service and meet the needs of our clients while ensuring the safety and health of our employees and customers.

Prior to the pandemic, there was a growing industry consensus that there was some firming of (re)insurance rates for the areas impacted by the recent catastrophes. specificities can

vary widely.
The increased
frequency
of catastrophe
losses that continued to be
experienced
throughout
2021 and
thus far
in
2022 and throughout 2021 appears
to
be further
pressuring the
increase of
rates.
As business
activity continues
to regain
strength
after the
pandemic and
current
macroeconomic
uncertainty,
rates also
appear to
be firming
in most
lines of
business, particularly
in the
casualty lines
that had seen significant losses such
as excess casualty and directors’
and officers’ liability.
Other casualty lines are
experiencing
modest
rate
increase,
while
some
lines
such
as
workers’
compensation
were
experiencing
softer
market
conditions.
It
is
too
early
to
tell
what
the
impact
on
pricing
conditions
will
be,
but
it
is
likely
to
change
depending on the line of business and geography.

While we are
unable to
predict the
full impact the
pandemic will have
on the insurance
industry as
it continues
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
global
economy,
we
are
well
positioned
to
continue
to
service
our
clients.
Our
capital
position
remains
a
source
of
strength,
with
high
quality
invested
assets,
significant
liquidity
and
a
low
operating expense
ratio. Our diversified
global platform with
its broad mix of
products, distribution
and geography
is resilient.

The war

in the
Ukraine
is ongoing
and an
evolving
event.
Economic
and legal
sanctions
have
been levied
against
Russia, specific named individuals
and entities connected
to the Russian government,
as well as businesses
located
in the
Russian Federation
and/or owned
by Russian
nationals by
numerous countries,
including the
United States. The significant political and economic uncertainty surrounding the war and associated sanctions have impacted economic and investment markets both within Russia and around the world. To the best of our knowledge at this time, the Company has limited financial exposure related to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. However, given the ongoing nature of the war and the high degree of uncertainty around both exposures and coverage, a reasonable estimation of potential loss is not credible at this time.

The increase was primarily the result of increases in income from fixed maturity securities and other alternative investments, partially offset by a decline in income from

and other underwriting
expense ratios,
which respectively,
divide incurred
losses, commissions
and
brokerage and other underwriting expense ratios, which respectively, divide incurred losses, commissions and brokerage and other
underwriting expenses by premiums earned.

Premiums.
Gross written
premiums decreased
by 2.8% 0.7%
to $1.38$1.7
billion for
the three
months ended
September 30,
2022 primarily
due
to
a
decline in
property
pro
rata
business,
partially
offset
by
an increase
in
casualty
pro
rata
business.
Net written premiums
increased by 3.0% to
$1.5 billion for the
three months ended March 31, September
30,
2022.
The higher percentage
increases in net
written premiums compared
to gross written
premiums were
primarily due
to
a
reduction
in
business
ceded to
the
segregated
accounts
of Mt.
Logan
Re
during
the three
and
nine
months
ended September 30,
2022 from $1.42compared to
the three and nine
months ended September
30, 2021. Premiums
earned
increased by 9.2%
to $1.4 billion
for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due September
30, 2022 compared
to a decline in property pro rata business.Net written premiums decreased by 1.9% to $1.19$1.3 billion
for the
three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.21 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which is consistent with the change in gross written premiums. Premiums earned increased 2.7% to $1.21 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.18 billion for the three months ended March 31, September 30,
2021. The change
in premiums
earned relative
to net written
premiums is the
result of timing; premiums are earned
ratably over the coverage
period whereas written
premiums are recorded at
41
the initiation
of the
coverage
period. Accordingly,
the increases
in gross
written premiums
from pro
rata
business
during the latter half of 2021 contributed
to the current quarter percentage
increase in net earned premiums.
Gross
written
premiums
decreased
by
2.2% to
$4.5 billion
for
the
nine months
ended September
30,
2022 from
$4.6
billion
for
the
nine
months
ended
September
30,
2021
primarily
due
to
a
decline
in
property
pro
rata
business,
partially offset
by an
increase in
casualty pro
rata business
.
Net written
premiums decreased
by 0.6%
to
$3.9 billion
for
the nine
months
ended September
30, 2022
compared
to
$4.0 billion
for
the nine
months
ended
September 30,
2021, which
is consistent
with the
change in
gross written
premiums. Premiums
earned increased
5.8% to
$3.9 billion
for the
nine months
ended September
30, 2022
compared to
$3.7 billion
for the
nine months
ended
September
30,
2021.
The
change
in
premiums
earned
relative
to
net
written
premiums
is
the
result
of
timing;
premiums
are
earned
ratably
over
the
coverage
period
whereas
written
premiums
are
recorded
at
the
initiation
of
the
coverage
period.
Accordingly,
the
increases
in
gross
written
premiums
from
pro
rata
business
during the latter half of 2021 contributed
to the current quarter percentage
increase in net earned premiums.

Incurred losses
increased by
26.8% to
$1.5 billion
for the
three months
ended September
30, 2022,
compared
to
$1.2 billion for
the three months
ended September 30,
2021.
The increase was
primarily due to
an increase of
$56
42
million
in
current
year
attritional
losses
and
an
increase
of
$256
million
in
current
year

losses.
The
increase in current year attritional
losses was mainly related to the impact
of the increase in premiums earned. The
current year
catastrophe
losses of $722
million for
the three
months ended
September 30,
2022 related
primarily
to
Hurricane
Ian ($670
million),

the
nine
months
ended
September
30,
2022,
compared
to
$2.9 billion for
the nine months
ended September 30,
2021. The increase
was primarily due
to an increase
of $153
million
in
current
year
catastrophe
losses
and
an
increase
of
$134
million
in
current
year
attritional
losses.
The
increase in current year
attritional losses
was mainly related
to the impact of the increase
in premiums earned and
$25
million
of
attritional
losses
incurred
due
to
the
Ukraine/Russia
war.
The
current
year
catastrophe
losses
of
$857 million for
the nine

($74
million),
the
2022
South
Africa
flood
($38
million),

Premiums.
Gross written

by 8.9%
to $905
million for

months ended
September 30,
2022
compared
to
$831
million
for
the
three
months
ended
September
30,
2021.
The
increase
in
insurance
premiums
reflects
growth
across
most
lines
of
business
driven
by
positive
rate
and
exposure
increases,
new
business,
and strong
renewal
retention.
Net
written

increased
by
18.8%
to

September
30,
2022 compared
to
$608 million
for
the
three
months
ended September
30,
2021.
The higher
percentage
of net
written premiums
compared to
gross written
premiums was
mainly due
to business
mix. Premiums earned increased
23.6% to $706 million for
the three months ended
September 30, 2022 compared
to $571
million for
the three
months ended
September 30,
2021. The
change in
premiums earned
is the
result of
timing;
premiums
are
earned
ratably
over
the
coverage
period
whereas
written
premiums
are
recorded
at
the
initiation of
the coverage
period. Accordingly,
the significant
increases in
gross written
premiums during
the latter
half of 2021 contributed to the current quarter
percentage increase in net earned premiums.

Premiums.Gross written premiums increased by 15.7% to $825.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $713.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The rise in gross written premiums was primarily due to increases in specialty casualty business and other specialty business. Net written premiums increased by 9.8% to $610.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $556.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The difference between the change in net earned premiums compared to the change in gross written premiums is due to varying utilization of reinsurance.

in premiums earned is the result
of timing; premiums are earned ratably
over the coverage period
whereas written
premiums
are
recorded
at
the
initiation
of

coverage
period.
Accordingly,

We

Our
current
investment
strategy
seeks
to
maximize
after-tax
income
through
a
high
quality,
diversified,
taxable
and tax-preferenced tax
-preferenced
fixed
maturity
portfolio,
while maintaining
an adequate
level of
liquidity.
Our mix
of taxable
and
tax-preferenced
investments
is
adjusted
periodically,
consistent
with
our
current
and
projected
operating
results,
market
conditions
and
our
tax
position.
The
fixed
maturity
securities
in
the
investment
portfolio
are
comprised of non-trading available
for sale securities. Additionally,
we have invested
in equity securities.

The overall
investment strategy
considers the
scope of present
and anticipated
Company operations.
In particular,
estimates of
the financial
impact resulting
from non-investment
asset and
liability transactions,
together with
our
capital
structure
and
other
factors,
are
used
to
develop

This analysis includes estimated payout characteristics for which our investments provide liquidity. This analysis

in the

The
change
in
overall
market

the asset changes that took place during the period.

Interest Rate Risk.
Risk.
Our $19.5$18.9 billion
investment
portfolio, at
March 31,
September 30,
2022,
, is principally
comprised of fixed
maturity securities,
which are
generally subject
to interest
rate risk
and some
foreign currency
exchange
rate risk,
and some equity securities, which are subject to price fluctuations
and some foreign exchange
rate risk. The overall
economic impact
of the foreign
exchange risks
on the investment
portfolio is
partially mitigated
by changes
in the
dollar value of foreign currency
denominated liabilities and their associated
income statement impact.

Interest
rate
risk
is
the
potential
change
in
value
of
the
fixed
maturity
securities
portfolio,
including
short-term
investments,
from
a
change
in
market
interest
rates.
In
a
declining
interest
rate
environment,
it
includes
prepayment
risk
on
the $1.7
$1.9
billion
of
mortgage-backed
securities
in
the $12.8
$12.1
billion
fixed
maturity
portfolio.
Prepayment
risk results
from potential
accelerated
principal
payments
that shorten
the average
life and
thus the
expected yield of the security.

The
table
below
displays
the
potential
impact
of market
fair

fluctuations
and
after-tax

We had $13.4$14.8 billion and $13.1 billion
of gross reserves for losses
and LAE as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December
31,
2021,
respectively.
These
amounts
are
recorded
at
their
nominal
value,
as
opposed
to
present
value,
which
would reflect
a discount
adjustment to
reflect the
time value
of money.
Since losses
are paid
out over
a period
of
time, the
present
value of
the reserves
is less
than the
nominal value.
As interest
rates
rise, the
present
value of
the reserves
decreases
and,
conversely,
as interest
rates
decline, the
present
value
increases.
These movements
are
the

While

Foreign
Currency
Risk.
Foreign
currency
risk is
the potential
change
in value,
income
and
cash
flow arising
from
adverse changes
in foreign
currency exchange
rates.
Each of
our non-U.S.
(“foreign”)
operations
maintains capital
in the
currency
of the
country
of its
geographic
location
consistent
with local
regulatory
guidelines. Each
foreign
operation
may
conduct
business
in
its
local
currency,
as
well
as
the
currency
of
other
countries
in
which
it
operates.
The
primary
foreign
currency
exposures
for
these
foreign
operations
are
the
Singapore
and
Canadian
Dollars. We
mitigate foreign
exchange
exposure by
generally matching
the currency of other countries in which it operates. The primary foreign currency exposures for these foreign operations are the Singapore and Canadian Dollars. We mitigate foreign exchange exposure by generally matching the currency
and duration
of our
assets to
our corresponding
operating liabilities. In
accordance with FASB
guidance, the impact
on the market fair
value of available
for
sale
fixed
maturities
due
to
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates,
in
relation
to
functional
currency,
is
reflected as
part of other
comprehensive income.
Conversely,
the impact of
changes in
foreign currency
exchange
rates,
in
relation
to
functional
currency,
on
other
assets
and
liabilities
is
reflected
through
net
income
as
a
component of other income (expense). In
addition, we translate
the assets, liabilities and income of non-U.S.
dollar
functional currency
legal entities
to the
U.S. dollar.
This translation
amount is
reported as
a component
of other
comprehensive income.

PART II

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary
course of business,
the Company is
involved in
lawsuits, arbitrations
and other formal
and informal
dispute resolution
procedures,
the outcomes
of which
will determine
the Company’s
rights and
obligations
under
insurance
and
reinsurance
agreements.
In
some
disputes,
the
Company
seeks
to
enforce
its
rights
under
an
agreement or to
collect funds owing
to it.
In other matters,
the Company is
resisting attempts
by others to
collect
funds or
enforce
alleged rights.
These disputes
arise from
time to
time and
are ultimately
resolved through
both
informal
and
formal
means,
including
negotiated
resolution,
arbitration
and
litigation.
In
all
such
matters,
the
Company believes
that its positions
are legally and
commercially reasonable.
The Company
considers the
statuses
of these proceedings when determining its reserves for
unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses.

Aside from litigation and arbitrations
related to these insurance and
reinsurance agreements,
the Company is not a
party to any other material litigation
or arbitration.
