BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited
consolidated
financial
statements
of the
Company
as
of
March
June 30, 2023 and December 31,
2023
and
December
31,
2022
and for
the three
and six months ended
March 31,
June 30, 2023 and
2022 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, 2022 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 six months
ended March
31,June 30, 2023 and
2022 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, 2022, 2021
and 2020, 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
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.
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 six months
ended
March
31,
June 30, 2023. The
Company
assessed
the
adoption
impacts
of recently
issued
accounting
standards
by
the Financial
Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) 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,
2022. There
were no
accounting standards
issued in
the three
six months ended
March 31,
June 30, 2023, that
are expected to have
a material impact on Holdings.
Application of Methods and Assumption Changes.

During 2023, the Company refined its premium estimation methodology for its risk attaching reinsurance contracts within its Reinsurance Segment to continue to recognize gross written premium over the term of the treaty, albeit over a different pattern than what was previously used. The refined estimate resulted in an increase of gross written premium during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 periods and has further aligned the estimation methodology across the reinsurance division globally. This change had no impact on the total written premium to be recognized over the term of the treaty. There was no impact on net earned premium and therefore, no impact on income from continuing operations, net income, or any related per-share amounts.

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
securities
reclassified at the date
of transfer
was $
722
$722 million, net of allowance
for current expected
credit losses, which was
subsequently recognized
as the new amortized cost
basis. As of March 31,
June 30, 2023, these securities had an
unrealized
loss of $
48
$46 million, which remained
in accumulated other
comprehensive income
(“AOCI”) 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
7


securities. The fair values of these securities incorporate the securities.use of significant unobservable inputs and therefore are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company evaluated
fixed maturity securities
classified as held to maturity
for current expected
credit losses as
of March 31,
June 30, 2023 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 incorporation
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 March 31,June 30, 2023.

to
fixed

securities
- available
for
sale
in
an

position
at

31,
June 30, 2023
were
$
11.0
$11.5 billion
and
$
871
$919 million,
respectively.
The
fair
value
of
securities for
the single
issuer
(the (the United
States
government)
whose securities
comprised
the largest
unrealized
loss
position
at
March
31,
June 30, 2023,
did
not
exceed
3.8
%
amounted to less than 3.1% 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
position
at
March 31,
June 30, 2023
comprised
less
than
0.6
%
1.9% 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 $
158
$127 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
asset-backed securities
and
agency
residential
mortgage-backed
securities.
Of
these
unrealized
losses,
$
126
$98 million
were
related
to
securities
that
were
rated
investment
grade
by
at
least
one
nationally
recognized
rating
agency.
The
$

$792 million
of
unrealized
losses
related
to
fixed
maturity
securities
-
available
for sale
in an
unrealized

for more
than one
year related
primarily to
domestic and
foreign
corporate
securities,
agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), as
well
as
agency
residential
mortgage-backed
asset-backed securities.
Of
these
unrealized
losses
$
657
$738 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
March
31,
June 30, 2023,
the
unrealized
losses
are
due
to
changes
in
interest
rates
and
non-issuer specific
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
Company
records
results
from
limited
partnership
investments
on
the
equity
method
of
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 (“NAVs”) 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.

Company
entered

high quality,
short-duration securities
and permits daily liquidity.
The Company consolidates
its participation in

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
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
is deemed to have a controlling
deemed
11
to


have
a
controlling
financial
interest
when
it
has
both
the
ability
to
direct
the
activities
that
most
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,
June 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022,
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,
June 30, 2023
and
December 31, 2022
is limited
to the
total
carrying value
of $
2.82
$2.9 billion and
$
2.75
$2.8 billion, respectively,
which are
included
in
general
and
limited

and
other
alternative
investments
in
Other
Invested
Assets
in
the
Company's
Consolidated
Balance
Sheets.
As
of
March
31,
June 30, 2023,
the
Company
has
outstanding
commitments
totaling
$
869
$871 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
classified as
fixed
maturities.
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 size
of the Company’s
investment
in comparison
to the
principal
amount
of
the
structured
securities
issued
by
the
VIEs,

or

and
direct the
Company’s
inability
to

activities that most significantly

of the VIEs. The Company’s
maximum exposure
to loss on these investments

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.
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.
17
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,
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
June 30, 2023, $1.8 billion of fixed maturities were fair valued using unobservable inputs. The majority of these fixed maturities were valued by investment managers’ valuation committees and many of these fair values were substantiated by valuations from independent third parties. The Company has procedures in place to evaluate these independent third party valuations. At December 31, 2023,
$
1.72022, $1.7 billion of fixed maturities were fair valued using unobservable inputs.
14
billion of
fixed
maturities
were fair
valued
using unobservable
inputs. The
majority of
these
fixed
maturities
were valued
by investment
managers’
valuation
committees
and many
of these
fair values
were substantiated
by
valuations
from independent
third
parties.
The Company
has
procedures
in place
to
evaluate
these independent
third party
valuations.
At December
31, 2022,
$
1.7

billion of
fixed maturities
were fair
valued using
unobservable
inputs.

The Company
internally manages
a portfolio
of assets which
had a fair
value at
March 31, June 30, 2023
and December 31,
2022 of $
3.4
$4.0 billion and $
2.7
$2.7 billion, respectively,
primarily comprised
of collateralized
loan obligations
included in
asset-backed securities, preferred stock and USU.S. treasury
fixed maturities.
All prices for these securities 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 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
are
provided
by
the
third
party pricing
services in
local currencies,
and where
applicable,
are converted
to U.S.
dollars
using currency
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
not available from the nationally
recognized pricing services and are
derived using
unobservable
inputs.
The
Company
will
value
the
securities
with
unobservable
inputs
using
comparable
market
information
or receive
fair
values
from investment
managers.
The investment
managers
may
obtain
non-binding
price quotes
for
the securities
from brokers.
The single
broker
quotes
are provided
by market
makers
or broker-
dealers
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.
18

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 LAE.
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.

Recoveries
under
these
collateralized
reinsurance
agreements
with
Kilimanjaro
are
primarily
dependent
on
estimated industry
level insured
losses from
covered events
as well as
the geographic
location of
the events.
The
estimated
industry
level
of
insured
losses
is
obtained
from
published
estimates
by
an
independent
recognized
authority
on
insured
property
losses.
As
of
March
31,
2023,
none
of
the
published
insured
loss
estimates
for
catastrophe
events
during
the
applicable
covered
periods
of
the
various
agreements
have
exceeded
the
single
event retentions or aggregate
retentions under the terms of the agreements
that would result in a recovery.
Kilimanjaro has
financed the
various
property catastrophe
reinsurance
coverages
by issuing
catastrophe
bonds to
unrelated,
external
investors.
The proceeds
from
the issuance
of the
catastrophe
bonds
are
held in
reinsurance
trusts
throughout
the duration
of the
applicable
reinsurance
agreements
and invested
solely in
U.S.
government

with
a
rating
of at
least
“AAAm”
by

to the reinsurance agreements listed

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
experienceInterest expense incurred in lines
written. Furthermore,
the market impact
fromconnection with 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 the
securitization of
reinsurance and
insurance risks
through capital
markets provide
additional sources of potential reinsurance
and insurance capacity and competition.
Worldwide
reinsurance
and
insurance
market
conditions
historically
have
been
competitive.
Generally,
there
subordinated notes is
ample reinsurance and
insurance 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
reinsurance
and
insurance
risk
exposure.
The capital
markets
demand for
these products
is primarily
driven by
the desire
to achieve
greater
risk
diversification
and
potentially
higher
returns
on
their
investments.
This
competition
generally
has
a
negative
impact
on
rates,
terms
and
conditions;
however,
the
impact
varies
widely
by
market
and
coverage.
Based
on
recent
competitive
behaviors
in
the
reinsurance
and
insurance
industry,
natural
catastrophe
events
and
the
macroeconomic
backdrop,
there
has
been
some
dislocation
in
the
market
which
we
expect
to
have
a
positive
impact on rates and terms and conditions
generally,
though local market specificities can
vary.
The increased
frequency of
catastrophe
losses experienced
throughout
recent years
appears to
be 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.
The
impact
on
pricing
conditions
is
likely
to
change
depending
on
the
line
of
business
and
geography.
Our
capital
position
is
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.

10. COLLATERALIZED REINSURANCE AND TRUST AGREEMENTS
A subsidiary of the Company, Everest Re, has established a trust agreement, which effectively uses Everest Re’s investments as collateral, as security for assumed losses payable to non-affiliated ceding companies. At June 30, 2023, the total amount on deposit in the trust account was $717 million, which included $82 million of restricted cash.

Recoveries under these collateralized reinsurance agreements with Kilimanjaro are primarily dependent on estimated industry level insured losses from covered events as well as the geographic location of the events. The estimated industry level of insured losses is obtained from published estimates by an independent recognized authority on insured property losses. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has up to $350 million of catastrophe bond protection (“CAT Bond”) that attaches at a $48.1 billion Property Claims Services (“PCS”) Industry loss threshold. This recovery would be recognized on a pro-rata basis up to a $63.8 billion PCS Industry loss level. PCS’s current industry estimate of $49.4 billion issued in July 2023 exceeds the attachment point. The recovery under the CAT Bond, included in the Company’s financial results, is currently estimated to be $25 million, subject to further revision of the industry loss estimate.
Kilimanjaro has financed the various property catastrophe reinsurance coverages by issuing catastrophe bonds to unrelated, external investors. The proceeds from the issuance of the catastrophe bonds are held in reinsurance trusts throughout the duration of the applicable reinsurance agreements and invested solely in U.S. government money market funds with a rating of at least “AAAm” by Standard & Poor’s. The catastrophe bonds’ issue date, maturity date and amount correspond to the reinsurance agreements listed above.
11. 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 LAE.
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.

14.  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 (“AETR”) approach for calculating its tax provision for interim periods as prescribed by ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting. Under the estimated AETR approach, the estimated AETR 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 AETR.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. We have evaluated the tax provisions of the IRA, the most significant of which are the corporate alternative minimum tax and the share repurchase excise tax and do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our results of operations. As the IRS issues additional guidance, we will evaluate any impact to our consolidated financial statements.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated known recognized and non-recognized subsequent events. The Company does not have any subsequent events to report.

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 a result, 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 the securitization of reinsurance and insurance risks through capital markets provide additional sources of potential reinsurance and insurance capacity and competition.
Worldwide reinsurance and insurance market conditions historically have been competitive. Generally, there is ample reinsurance and insurance 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, provide capital markets with access to reinsurance and insurance risk exposure. The capital markets demand for these products is primarily driven by the desire to achieve greater risk diversification and potentially higher returns on their investments. This competition generally has a negative impact on rates, terms and conditions; however, the impact varies widely by market and coverage. Based on recent competitive behaviors in the reinsurance and insurance industry, natural catastrophe events and the macroeconomic backdrop, there has been dislocation in the market which has had a positive impact on rates and terms and conditions, generally, though specifics in local markets can vary.
Specifically, recent market conditions in property, particularly catastrophe excess of loss, have resulted in rate increases. As a result of the rate increases, most of the lines within property have been affected. Other casualty lines have been experiencing modest rate increases, while some lines such as workers’ compensation and directors and officers liability have been experiencing softer market conditions. The impact on pricing conditions is likely to change depending on the line of business and geography.

Our capital position is 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 in 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.

was
primarily
due

increases in property/short tail business and other specialty lines of business. Net written premiums increased by 8.9% to $816 million for the three months ended March
31,June 30, 2023, compared to $750 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.The higher percentage of net written premiums compared to gross written premiums was mainly due to business mix and higher retention in certain lines of business.

Gross written premiums increased by 5.8% to $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in insurance premiums reflects increases in property/short tail business and other specialty lines of business. Net written premiums increased by 10.7% to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The higher percentage of net written premiums compared to gross written premiums was mainly due to business mix and higher retention in certain lines of business. Premiums earned increased by 10.7% to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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.

Our financial

ratings
as determined
by A.M.

& Poor’s
and Moody’s
are important
as they
provide our customers
and investors
with an independent
assessment of our
financial strength
using a rating
scale
that provides
for relative
comparisons.
We
continue
to
possess
significant
financial flexibility
and access
to debt

markets as
a result
of our
financial strength,
as evidenced
by the

assigned

We maintain
our own
economic capital
models to monitor
and project
our overall
capital, as
well as the
capital at
our operating
subsidiaries.
A key
input to
the economic
models is
projected
income, and
this input
is continually
compared to actual results, which may
require a change in the capital strategy.

We
may
continue,
from
time
to
time to
time, to seek
to
retire
portions
of our
outstanding
debt securities
through
cash
repurchases,
in open-market
purchases,
privately
negotiated
transactions
or otherwise.
Such repurchases,
if any,
will be subject
to and
depend on
prevailing market
conditions, our
liquidity requirements,
contractual
restrictions
and
other
factors.
The
amounts
involved
in
any
such
transactions,
individually
or
in
the
aggregate,
may
be

Liquidity.
Our liquidity requirements are generally
met from positive cash flow
from operations.
Positive cash flow results from reinsurance and insurance premiums being collected prior to disbursements for claims, which disbursements
results

from


reinsurance
and
insurance
premiums
being
collected
prior
to
disbursements
for
claims,
which
disbursements generally
take place
over an extended
period after
the collection of
premiums, sometimes
a period
41
of
many
years.
Collected
premiums
are
generally
invested,
prior
to
their
use
in
such
disbursements,
and
investment
income
provides
additional
funding
for
loss
payments.
Our
net
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
were $384$914 million and $531$948 million for the three
six months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

If
disbursements
for
claims
losses and
benefits,
LAE, policy
acquisition
costs
and
other
operating
expenses
were
to
exceed
premium inflows, cash flow from
reinsurance and insurance
operations would be negative.
The effect on cash flow
from
insurance
operations
would
be
partially
offset
by
cash
flow
from
investment
income.
Additionally,
cash
inflows
from
investment
maturities
-
both
short-term
investments
and
longer-term
maturities
are
available
to
supplement
other
operating
cash
flows.
We
do
not
expect
to
supplement
negative
insurance
operations
cash
flows from investment income. Additionally, cash inflows from investment maturities of both short-term investments and longer-term maturities are available to supplement other operating cash flows. We do not expect to supplement negative insurance operations cash flows with investment dispositions.

As
the
timing
of payments
for
claims
losses and
benefits
LAE cannot
be predicted
with
certainty,
we
maintain
portfolios
of
long-term
invested
assets
with
varying
maturities,
along
with
short-term
investments
that
provide
additional
liquidity
for
payment
of
claims.
At

that these
fixed
maturity and
equity securities,
in conjunction
with the
short-term

and positive
cash
flow
from
operations,
provide
ample
sources
of
liquidity
for

reflects

However,
given
the
catastrophic events observed in recent

may
decline and
could

as significant

However,

principally

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

on the investment

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, interest rate risk includes prepayment risk on the $2.2 billion of mortgage-backed securities in the $15.0 billion fixed maturity portfolio.

These amounts
are recorded
at their nominal
