PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This report or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of us may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, for purposes of the PSLRA or otherwise, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe” or “continue” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature or their negative or variations or similar terminology.

Forward-looking statements involve our current assessment of risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements are discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and include:

our ability to successfully implement our business strategy during “soft” as well as “hard” markets;

acceptance of our business strategy, security and financial condition by rating agencies and regulators, as well as by brokers and our insureds and reinsureds;

the integration of any businesses we have acquired or may acquire into our existing operations;

our ability to maintain or improve our ratings, which may be affected by our ability to raise additional equity or debt financings, by ratings agencies’ existing or new policies and practices, as well as other factors described herein;

general economic and market conditions (including inflation, interest rates, unemployment, housing prices, foreign currency exchange rates, prevailing credit terms and the depth and duration of a recession) and conditions specific to the reinsurance and insurance markets (including the length and magnitude of the current “soft” market) in which we operate;

competition, including increased competition, on the basis of pricing, capacity (including alternative sources of capital), coverage terms, or other factors;

developments in the world’s financial and capital markets and our access to such markets;

our ability to successfully enhance, integrate and maintain operating procedures (including information technology) to effectively support our current and new business;

the loss of key personnel;

accuracy of those estimates and judgments utilized in the preparation of our financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition, insurance and other reserves, reinsurance recoverables, investment valuations, intangible assets, bad debts, income taxes, contingencies and litigation, and any determination to use the deposit method of accounting, which for a relatively new insurance and reinsurance company, like our company, are even more difficult to make than those made in a mature company since relatively limited historical information has been reported to us through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019;

greater than expected loss ratios on business written by us and adverse development on claim and/or claim expense liabilities related to business written by our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries;

severity and/or frequency of losses;

claims for natural or man-made catastrophic events or severe economic events in our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage businesses could cause large losses and substantial volatility in our results of operations;

the effect of climate change on ~~the Company’s~~our business;

acts of terrorism, political unrest and other hostilities or other unforecasted and unpredictable events;

availability to us of reinsurance to manage our gross and net exposures and the cost of such reinsurance;

the failure of reinsurers, managing general agents, third party administrators or others to meet their obligations to us;

the timing of loss payments being faster or the receipt of reinsurance recoverables being slower than anticipated by us;



ARCH CAPITAL	2	2019 ~~FIRST~~SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

our investment performance, including legislative or regulatory developments that may adversely affect the fair value of our investments;

changes in general economic conditions, including new or continued sovereign debt concerns in Eurozone countries or downgrades of U.S. securities by credit rating agencies, which could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

the volatility of our shareholders’ equity from foreign currency fluctuations, which could increase due to us not matching portions of our projected liabilities in foreign currencies with investments in the same currencies;

changes in accounting principles or policies or in our application of such accounting principles or policies;

changes in the political environment of certain countries in which we operate or underwrite business;

a disruption caused by cyber-attacks or other technology breaches or failures on us or our business partners and service providers, which could negatively impact our business and/or expose us to litigation;

statutory or regulatory developments, including as to tax matters and insurance and other regulatory matters such as the adoption of proposed legislation that would affect Bermuda-headquartered companies and/or Bermuda-based insurers or reinsurers and/or changes in regulations or tax laws applicable to us, our subsidiaries, brokers or customers, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; and

the other matters set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors”, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as the other factors set forth in our other documents on file with the SEC, and management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included herein or elsewhere. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To theBoard of Directors and Shareholders of Arch Capital Group Ltd.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet ofArch Capital Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries ~~(the~~(the “Company”) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, and the relatedconsolidatedstatements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three-month and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2019 and2018, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~three-month~~six-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018,including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financialstatements”).Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statementsfor them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidatedbalance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidatedstatements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flowsfor the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 28, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These interim financial statements arethe responsibility of the Company’s management.We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ~~(“PCAOB”)~~(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

General

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (“Arch Capital”) is a Bermuda public limited liability company which provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As used herein, the “Company” means Arch Capital and its subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of Watford Holdings Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. See note 11.

On January 1, 2019, the Company’s U.K. insurance operations entered into a transaction with The Ardonagh Group to acquire renewal rights for a U.K. commercial lines book of business, consisting of commercial property, casualty, motor, professional liability, personal accident and travel business.

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. The results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or any future periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”), including the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which provides a new comprehensive model for lease accounting. Topic 842 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach of this standard, that resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $147.9 million as part of other assets and a lease liability of $163.6 million as part of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Company ~~de-recognizing~~de-recognized the liability for deferred rent that was required under the previous guidance.

In addition, the Company adopted ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements (Topic 842),” which provides an additional (optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard. The Company adopted the alternative transition method and elected to utilize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings for the year of adoption. As such, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods prior to the adoption continue to be presented in the financial statements in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance. The Company also adopted the practical expedients as a package which allows the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases and (4) to account for the lease and non lease components as a single lease component. In addition to electing the practical expedients as a package, the Company elected to include hindsight to determine the lease term of existing leases, and made an accounting policy election to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (lease term of less than twelve months). The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was zero. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or liquidity.

The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which was issued in June 2018 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under this ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This guidance and the adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects~~

ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which was issued in February 2018 to allow the reclassification of the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Cuts Act”). Current guidance requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax balances to be reported in income from continuing operations in the accounting period that includes the period of enactment, even if the related income tax effects were originally charged or credited directly to AOCI. The amount of the reclassification would include the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances, if any, at the date of the enactment of the Tax Cuts Act related to items in AOCI. The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Cuts Act related to items remaining in AOCI are recognized or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company adopted ASU 2017-08 “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which was issued in March, 2017. This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the new guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount whose discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

For information regarding additional accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see note 3(q), “Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.

2. Share Transactions

~~Share-Based Compensation~~

~~Annual long-term incentive awards have historically been made in the second quarter of each year. However, beginning in 2019, the awards were made in the first quarter.~~

During the 2019 first quarter, the Company granted 1,182,264 stock options, 672,768 performance share awards (“PSAs”) and units (“PSUs”) and 1,099,125 restricted shares and units to certain employees. The stock options were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the stock options, PSAs/PSUs and restricted shares and units granted during the 2019 first quarter were approximately $7.90, $35.83 and $32.64 per share, respectively. Such values are being amortized over the respective substantive vesting period.

During the 2018 second quarter, the Company made a stock grant of 2,199,656 stock options, 705,345 PSAs/PSUs and 1,264,931 restricted shares and units to certain employees and directors. The stock options were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the stock options, PSAs/PSUs and

restricted shares and units granted during the 2018 second quarter were approximately $7.43, $24.65 and $26.56 per share, respectively. Such values are being amortized over the respective substantive vesting period.

Share Repurchases

The board of directors of Arch Capital has authorized the investment in Arch Capital’s common shares through a share

repurchase program. Since the inception of the share repurchase program, Arch Capital has repurchased 386.3 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.97 billion. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, Arch Capital repurchased 0.1 million shares under the share repurchase program with an aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million. Arch Capital repurchased ~~0.1~~6.5 million shares under the share repurchase program with an aggregate purchase price of ~~$3.3~~$173.6 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, $160.9 million of share repurchases were available under the program, which may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2019. The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions under this program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations.

Conversion of Convertible Non-Voting Common Equivalent Preferred Shares

In March 2018, Arch Capital completed an underwritten public secondary offering of 17.0 million common shares (split adjusted) by American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) following transfer of 0.6 million Series D convertible non-voting common equivalent preferred shares (“Series D Preferred Shares”). Proceeds from the sale of common shares pursuant to the public offering were received by AIG. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, no Series D Preferred Shares were outstanding.

Series C Preferred Shares

On January 2, 2018, Arch Capital redeemed all outstanding 6.75% Series C non-cumulative preferred shares. The preferred shares were redeemed at a redemption price equal to $25 per share, plus all declared and unpaid dividends to (but excluding) the redemption date. In accordance with GAAP, following the redemption, original issuance costs related to such shares were removed from additional paid-in capital and recorded as a “loss on redemption of preferred shares.” Such adjustment had no impact on total shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

4. Segment Information

The Company classifies its businesses into three underwriting segments — insurance, reinsurance and mortgage — and two other operating segments — ‘other’ and corporate (non-underwriting). The Company determined its reportable segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results.

The Company’s insurance, reinsurance and mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision makers, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Arch Capital, and the Chief Financial Officer of Arch Capital. The chief operating decision makers do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. Management measures segment performance for its three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. The Company does not manage its assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and, accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment.

The insurance segment consists of the Company’s insurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: construction and national accounts; excess and surplus casualty; lenders products; professional lines; programs; property, energy, marine and aviation; travel, accident and health; and other (consisting of alternative markets, excess workers' compensation and surety business).

The reinsurance segment consists of the Company’s reinsurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: casualty; marine and aviation; other specialty; property catastrophe; property excluding property catastrophe (losses on a single risk, both excess of loss and pro rata); and other (consisting of life reinsurance, casualty clash and other).

The mortgage segment includes the Company’s U.S. and international mortgage insurance and reinsurance operations as well as government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) credit-risk sharing transactions. Arch Mortgage Insurance Company and United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (combined “Arch MI U.S.”) are approved as eligible mortgage insurers by Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each a GSE.

The corporate (non-underwriting) segment results include net investment income, other income (loss), corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, interest expense, items related to the Company’s non-cumulative preferred shares, net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses included in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses and income taxes. Such amounts exclude the results of the ‘other’ segment.

The ‘other’ segment includes the results of Watford Holdings Ltd. Watford Holdings Ltd. is the parent of Watford Re Ltd., a multi-line Bermuda reinsurance company (together with Watford Holdings Ltd., “Watford Re”) (see note 11). Watford Re has its own management and board of directors that is responsible for the overall profitability of the ‘other’ segment. For the ‘other’ segment, performance is measured based on net income or loss.

Development on Prior Year Loss Reserves

2019 ~~First~~Second Quarter

During the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of ~~$39.4~~$38.2 million, which consisted of ~~$4.4~~$2.6 million of favorable development from the insurance segment, ~~$36.6~~$12.7 million from the reinsurance segment, $22.8 million from the mortgage segment and $0.1 million from the ‘other’ ~~segment, partially offset by $1.7 million of adverse development from the reinsurance~~ segment.

The insurance segment’s net favorable development of ~~$4.4~~$2.6 million, or ~~0.8~~0.4 loss ratio points, for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter consisted of ~~$9.7~~$8.0 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines, ~~$6.9~~$10.4 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines and ~~$1.6~~$4.9 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves ~~from the 2017~~across all accident ~~year~~years (i.e., the year in which a loss occurred). Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines primarily resulted from ~~$7.7~~$15.5 million of adverse development on program ~~business and $6.0 million of adverse development on contract binding~~

business. Such amounts were partially offset by ~~$6.8~~$5.1 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including

surety business and professional liability, ~~and surety business,~~ across most accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines primarily resulted from reductions in executive assurance reserves of $5.1 million, primarily from the 2008 to 2014 accident years.

The reinsurance segment’s net ~~adverse~~favorable development of ~~$1.7~~$12.7 million, or ~~0.5~~3.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter consisted of ~~$6.2~~$1.8 million of net ~~adverse~~favorable development from short-tailed lines ~~partially offset by $4.5~~and $10.9 million of net favorable development from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Net ~~adverse~~favorable development in short-tailed lines ~~included $13.8 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves,~~ primarily due to an increase in reserves on Typhoon Jebi of $16.0 million, or 4.6 points, based on receipt of updated information from cedents and additional updated industry data. Such amounts were partially offset by net favorable development of $9.6 millionresulted from other specialty ~~reserves, primarily from the 2016 and 2018~~lines across most underwriting years (i.e., all premiums and losses attributable to contracts having an inception or renewal date within the given twelve-month period). and in property other than property catastrophe reserves from earlier underwriting years, partially offset by a small amount of adverse development from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves in the 2015 and 2018 underwriting years. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty and marine reserves from most underwriting years.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $22.8 million, or 6.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 second quarter. The 2019 second quarter development was primarily driven by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

~~The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $36.6 million, or 11.3 loss ratio points, for the 2019 first quarter. The 2019 first quarter development was primarily driven by~~ continued favorable claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien ~~business at Arch MI U.S.~~business.

2018 ~~First~~Second Quarter

During the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter, the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of ~~$51.0~~$64.6 million, which consisted of ~~$36.5~~$6.1 million from the insurance segment, $33.0 million from the reinsurance segment, ~~$2.1 million from the insurance segment, $13.0~~$23.3 million from the mortgage segment and adverse development of ~~$0.6~~$2.2 million from the ‘other’ segment.

The insurance segment’s net favorable development of ~~$2.1~~$6.1 million, or ~~0.4~~1.1 loss ratio points, for the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter consisted of ~~$8.7~~$13.9 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and ~~$3.0~~$14.3 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by ~~$9.6~~$22.1 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 to 2017 accident ~~year (i.e.,~~ ~~the year in which a loss occurred)~~years while net favorable development in long-tailed lines primarily resulted from reductions in ~~casualty~~executive assurance reserves of ~~$3.9~~$6.9 million, primarily from the ~~2012~~2007 to ~~2014~~2011 accident ~~years.~~years, and in healthcare reserves of $4.9 million, primarily from the 2003 accident year. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected ~~$10.2~~$11.6 million of adverse development in program business, primarily driven by a few inactive programs that were non-renewed in 2015 and early in ~~2016.~~

2016 and $18.0 million of adverse development on contract binding business, primarily from the 2014 to 2016 accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $7.6 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability and surety business, across most accident years.

The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of ~~$36.5~~$33.0 million, or ~~13.1~~9.7 loss ratio points, for the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter consisted of ~~$28.9~~$22.2 million from short-tailed lines and ~~$7.6~~$10.8 million from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Favorable development in short-tailed lines included ~~$21.1~~$19.3 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, across most underwriting years, (~~i.e.,~~ ~~all premiums and losses attributable to contracts having an inception or renewal date within the given twelve-month period),~~ reflecting lower levels of reported and paid claims activity than previously anticipated which led to decreases in certain loss ratio selections during the period. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in marine reserves of ~~$6.2~~$3.8 million, ~~primarily from the 2011~~across most accident ~~year,~~years, and in casualty reserves of ~~$1.1~~$6.9 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the ~~2002~~2003 to ~~2009~~2010 underwriting years.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was ~~$13.0~~$23.3 million, or ~~4.6~~8.0 loss ratio points, for the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter. The 2018 ~~first~~second quarter development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $77.6 million, which consisted of $7.0 million from the insurance segment, $11.0 million from the reinsurance segment, $59.4 million from the mortgage segment and $0.1 million from the ‘other’ segment.

The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $7.0 million, or 0.6 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period consisted of $17.7 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $6.6 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by $17.3 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 to 2018 accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines reflected net reductions in executive assurance reserves of $5.7 million, primarily from the 2013 and 2015 accident years. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected $23.2 million of adverse development in program business, ~~at Arch MI U.S.~~primarily from the 2018 accident year, and $9.7 million of adverse development on contract binding business, across most accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $15.6 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability, marine and surety business, across most accident years.

The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $11.0 million, or 1.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period consisted of $4.3 million of net adverse development from short-tailed lines, offset by $15.3 million of net favorable development from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Net adverse development in short-tailed lines reflected $17.9 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, reflecting an increase in reserves on Typhoon Jebi in the 2019 first quarter of $16.0 million following receipt of updated information from cedents and additional updated industry data. Such amounts were partially offset by $10.2 million of favorable development on other specialty lines, primarily from the 2016 to 2018 underwriting years. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty reserves of $9.1 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the 2002 to 2007 underwriting years, and favorable development in marine reserves of $6.2 million, primarily from the 2015 to 2018 underwriting years.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $59.4 million, or 8.8 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period. The 2019 development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $115.6 million, which consisted of $8.2 million from the insurance segment, $69.6 million from the reinsurance segment, $36.3 million from the mortgage segment and $1.6 million from the ‘other’ segment.

The insurance segment��s net favorable development of $8.2 million, or 0.8 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period consisted of $22.7 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $17.2 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by $31.7 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 and 2017 accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines reflected net reductions in executive assurance reserves of $7.5 million, primarily from the 2008 to 2015 accident years, and in healthcare reserves of $7.0 million, primarily from the 2003 accident year. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected $21.9 million of adverse development in program business, primarily driven by a few inactive programs that were non-renewed in 2015 and early in 2016 and $25.6 million of adverse development on contract binding business, primarily from the 2014 to 2016 accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $15.8 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability and surety business, across most accident years.

The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $69.6 million, or 11.2 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period consisted of $51.1 million from short-tailed lines and $18.5 million from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Favorable development in short-tailed lines included $40.4 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, across most underwriting years, reflecting lower levels of reported and paid claims activity than previously anticipated which led to decreases in certain loss ratio selections during the period. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty reserves of $8.1 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the 2002 to 2010 underwriting years, and favorable development in marine reserves of $10.0 million across most underwriting years.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $36.3 million, or 6.4 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period. The 2018 development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business.

(1)	In securities lending transactions, the Company receives collateral in excess of the fair value of the securities pledged. For purposes of this table, the Company has excluded the collateral received under securities lending, at fair value and included the securities pledged under securities lending, at fair value. See “—Securities Lending Agreements.”

Securities Lending Agreements

The Company enters into securities lending agreements with financial institutions to enhance investment income whereby it loans certain of its securities to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms, for short periods of time through a lending agent. The Company maintains legal control over the securities it lends, retains the earnings and cash flows associated with the loaned securities and receives a fee from the borrower for the temporary use of the securities. An indemnification agreement with the lending agent protects the Company in the event a borrower becomes insolvent or fails to return any of the securities on loan from the Company.

The Company receives collateral in the form of cash or securities. Cash collateral primarily consists of short term investments. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the fair value of the cash collateral received on securities lending was ~~$48.6~~$11.4 million and the fair value of security collateral received was ~~$366.4~~$438.9 million. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the cash collateral received on securities lending was $19.0 million, and the fair value of security collateral received was $255.1 million.

The Company’s securities lending transactions were accounted for as secured borrowings with significant investment categories as follows:

Certain of the Company’s other investments are in investment funds for which the Company has the option to redeem at agreed upon values as described in each investment fund’s subscription agreement. Depending on the terms of the various subscription agreements, investments in investment funds may be redeemed daily, monthly, quarterly or on other terms. Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company’s ability to redeem these investment funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the investment fund’s net assets which may otherwise hinder the general

partner or investment manager’s ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. If the investment funds are eligible to be redeemed, the time to redeem such fund can take weeks or months following the notification.

Limited Partnership Interests

In the normal course of its activities, the Company invests in limited partnerships as part of its overall investment strategy. Such amounts are included in ‘investments accounted for using the equity method’ and ‘investments accounted for using the fair value option.’ The Company has determined that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of the funds. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment.

The following table summarizes investments in limited partnership interests where the Company has a variable interest by balance sheet line item:

Net impairment losses recognized in earnings in the 2019 ~~first quarter reflected~~periods were primarily related to foreign currency ~~impacts~~fluctuations and other impairments on corporate bonds and other securities.

The Company believes that the ~~$0.1 million~~minimal amount of OTTI included in accumulated other comprehensive income at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 on the securities which were considered by the Company to be impaired was due to market and sector-related factors (i.e., not credit losses). At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company did not intend to sell these securities, or any other securities which were in an unrealized loss position, and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their cost basis.

The following table provides a roll forward of the amount related to credit losses recognized in earnings for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income:

7. Fair Value

Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure 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 upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. 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 (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 quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets


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~~

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

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for securities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such securities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. The Company reviews its securities measured at fair value and discusses the proper classification of such investments with investment advisers and others.

The Company determines the existence of an active market based on its judgment as to whether transactions for the financial instrument occur in such market with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources as inputs into its process for determining fair values of its fixed maturity investments. To validate the techniques or models used by pricing sources, the Company's review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) quantitative analysis (e.g., comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark, with significant differences identified and investigated); (ii) a review of the average number of prices obtained in the pricing process and the range of resulting fair values; (iii) initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; (iv) a comparison of the fair value estimates to the Company’s knowledge of the current market; (v) a comparison of the pricing services' fair values to other pricing services' fair values for the same investments; and (vi) periodic back-testing, which includes randomly selecting purchased or sold securities and comparing the executed prices to the fair value estimates from the pricing service. A price source hierarchy was maintained in order to determine which price source would be used (i.e., a price obtained from a pricing service with more seniority in the hierarchy will be used over a less senior one in all cases). The hierarchy prioritizes pricing services based on availability and reliability and assigns the highest priority to index providers. Based on the above review, the Company will challenge any prices for a security or portfolio which are considered not to be

representative of fair value. The Company did not adjust any of the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

In certain circumstances, when fair values are unavailable from these independent pricing sources, quotes are obtained directly from broker-dealers who are active in the corresponding markets. Such quotes are subject to the validation procedures noted above. Of the ~~$20.88~~$21.66 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019,

approximately ~~$221.0~~$183.8 million, or ~~1.1%~~0.9%, were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes. Of the $20.41 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2018, approximately $217.9 million, or 1.1%, were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes.

Fixed maturities

The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value of its fixed maturity securities, when possible. The market approach includes obtaining prices from independent pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as to a lesser extent quotes from broker-dealers. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Each source has its own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair value.

The following describes the significant inputs generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities by asset class:

•U.S. government and government agencies — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The Company determined that all U.S. Treasuries would be classified as Level 1 securities due to observed levels of trading activity, the high number of strongly correlated pricing quotes received on U.S. Treasuries and other factors. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified within Level 2.

•Corporate bonds — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary

trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $23.9 million of corporate bonds from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above.

•Mortgage-backed securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through pricing vendors and index providers with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models (including Option Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the expected average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process.

•Municipal bonds — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using spreads obtained from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for municipal bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•Commercial mortgage-backed securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for commercial mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•Non-U.S. government securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally based on international indices or valuation models which include daily observed yield curves, cross-currency basis index spreads and country credit spreads.

Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for asset-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Equity securities

The Company determined that exchange-traded equity securities would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Other equity securities are included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, the fair value of such securities are classified as Level 3. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $107.4 million of equity securities from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above.

Other investments

The Company determined that exchange-traded investments in mutual funds would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Other investments also include term loan investments for which fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of term loan investments with similar characteristics, pricing models or matrix pricing. Such investments are generally classified within Level 2. The fair values for certain of the Company’s other investments are determined using net asset values as advised by external fund managers. The net asset value is based on the fund manager’s valuation of the underlying holdings in accordance with the fund’s governing documents. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not

been classified in the fair value hierarchy. A small number of

securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $44.6 million of other investments from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above.

Derivative instruments

The Company’s futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and other derivatives trade in the over-the-counter derivative market. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value for these derivatives based on significant observable market inputs from third party pricing vendors, non-binding broker-dealer quotes and/or recent trading activity. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for these derivative instruments are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Short-term investments

The Company determined that certain of its short-term investments held in highly liquid money market-type funds, Treasury bills and commercial paper would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values of other short-term investments are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve and are classified within Level 2.

Contingent consideration liabilities

Contingent consideration liabilities (included in ‘other liabilities’ in the consolidated balance sheets) include amounts related to the acquisition of CMG Mortgage Insurance Company and its affiliated mortgage insurance companies and other acquisitions. Such amounts are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in ‘net realized gains (losses).’ To determine the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, the Company estimates future payments using an income approach based on modeled inputs which include a weighted average cost of capital. The Company determined that contingent consideration liabilities would be included within Level 3.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The carrying values of cash, accrued investment income, receivable for securities sold, certain other assets, payable for securities purchased and certain other liabilities approximated their fair values at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, due to their respective short maturities. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their respective fair values are classified within Level 2.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $1.73 billion and had a fair value of ~~$1.98~~$2.09 billion. At December 31, 2018, Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $1.73 billion and had a fair value of $1.88 billion. The fair values of the senior notes were obtained from a third party pricing service and are based on observable market inputs. As such, the fair values of the senior notes are classified within Level 2.

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company’s investment strategy allows for the use of derivative instruments. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company utilizes exchange traded U.S. Treasury note, Eurodollar and other futures contracts and commodity futures to manage portfolio duration or replicate investment positions in its portfolios and the Company routinely utilizes foreign currency forward contracts, currency options, index futures contracts and other derivatives as part of its total return objective. In addition, certain of the Company’s investments are managed in portfolios which incorporate the use of foreign currency forward contracts which are intended to provide an economic hedge against foreign currency movements.

In addition, the Company purchases to-be-announced mortgage backed securities (“TBAs”) as part of its investment strategy. TBAs represent commitments to purchase a future issuance of agency mortgage backed securities. For the period between

purchase of a TBA and issuance of the underlying security, the Company’s position is accounted for as a derivative. The Company purchases TBAs in both long and short positions to enhance investment performance and as part of its overall investment strategy.

The following table summarizes information on the fair values and notional values of the Company’s derivative instruments:

The Company did not hold any derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

The Company’s derivative instruments can be traded under master netting agreements, which establish terms that apply to all derivative transactions with a counterparty. In the event of a bankruptcy or other stipulated event of default, such agreements provide that the non-defaulting party may elect to terminate all outstanding derivative transactions, in which case all individual derivative positions (loss or gain) with a counterparty are closed out and netted and replaced with a single amount, usually referred to as the termination amount, which is expressed in a single currency. The resulting single net amount, where positive, is payable to the party “in-the-money” regardless of whether or not it is the defaulting party, unless the parties have agreed that only the non-defaulting party is entitled to receive a termination payment where the net amount is positive and is in its favor. Contractual close-out netting reduces derivatives credit exposure from gross to net exposure. The remaining derivatives included in the table above were not subject to a master netting agreement.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, asset derivatives and liability derivatives of ~~$27.9~~$46.2 million and ~~$14.5~~$38.4 million, respectively, were subject to a master netting agreement, compared to $80.4 million and $18.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The remaining derivatives included in the preceding table were not subject to a master netting agreement.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Investment Commitments

The Company’s investment commitments, which are primarily related to agreements entered into by the Company to invest in funds and separately managed accounts when called upon, were approximately ~~$1.83~~$1.92 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, compared to $1.77 billion at December 31, 2018.

Interest Paid

Interest paid on the Company’s senior notes and other borrowings were $~~6.2~~60.9 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, ~~compared to $7.9~~consistent with $60.9 million for the 2018 period.

10. Leases

In the ordinary course of business, the Company renews and enters into new leases for office property and equipment. At the lease inception date, the Company determines whether a contract contains a lease and its classification as a finance or operating lease. Primarily all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the lease term. The Company considers these options when determining the lease term and measuring its lease liability and right-of-use asset. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less were excluded on the Company's consolidated

As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

~~The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.~~

~~For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $7.6 million in operating lease costs.~~

Bellemeade Re

The Company has entered into various aggregate excess of loss mortgage reinsurance agreements with various special purpose reinsurance companies domiciled in Bermuda (the “Bellemeade Agreements”). At the time the Bellemeade Agreements were entered into, the applicability of the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs was evaluated. As a result of the evaluation of the Bellemeade Agreements, the Company concluded that these entities are VIEs. However, given that the ceding insurers do not have the unilateral power to direct those activities that are significant to their economic performance, the Company does not consolidate such entities in its consolidated financial statements.

ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

14. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes resulted in an expense of ~~8.5%~~8.4% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, compared to an expense of ~~11.6%~~9.7% for the 2018 period. The Company’s effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction. For interim reporting purposes, the Company has calculated its annual effective tax rate for the full year of 2019 by treating excess tax benefits that arise from the accounting for stock based compensation as a discrete item. As such, this amount is not included when projecting the Company’s full year annual effective tax rate but rather is accounted for at the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% after applying the projected full year annual effective tax rate to actual ~~three~~six months results before the discrete item. The impact of the discrete item resulted in a benefit of ~~0.5%~~0.4% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

The Company had a net deferred tax liability of ~~$18.9~~$49.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $22.5 million at December 31, 2018. The change is primarily a result of the appreciation of the Company’s fixed maturities from December 31, 2018 to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. In addition, the Company ~~recovered $32.7~~paid $43.5 million and ~~$49.9~~recovered $46.5 million of income taxes for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

15. Legal Proceedings

The Company, in common with the insurance industry in general, is subject to litigation and arbitration in the normal course of its business. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company was not a party to any litigation or arbitration which is expected by management to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and liquidity.

16. Subsequent ~~Event~~Events

Bellemeade Re 2019-3 Ltd.

In ~~April~~July 2019, the Company’s first-lien U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries entered into an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement with Bellemeade Re ~~2019-2~~2019-3 Ltd. (“Bellemeade ~~2019-2”~~2019-3”), a special purpose reinsurance company domiciled in Bermuda. The Bellemeade ~~2019-2~~2019-3 agreement provides for up to ~~$621.0~~$700.9 million of aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage at inception in excess of ~~$221.8~~$232.1 million of aggregate losses for new delinquencies on a portfolio of in-force policies ~~primarily~~ issued in ~~the second half of 2018.~~2016. The coverage amount decreases over a ten-year period as the underlying covered mortgages amortize.

Bellemeade ~~2019-2~~2019-3 financed the coverage through the issuance of mortgage insurance-linked notes in an aggregate amount of

approximately ~~$621.0~~$700.9 million to unrelated investors (the “Notes”). The maturity date of the Notes is ~~April~~July 25, 2029. The Notes will be redeemed prior to maturity upon the occurrence of a mandatory termination event or if the ceding insurers trigger a termination of the reinsurance agreement following the occurrence of an optional termination event. All of the proceeds paid to Bellemeade ~~2019-2~~2019-3 from the sale of the Notes were deposited into a reinsurance trust as security for Bellemeade ~~2019-2’s~~2019-3’s obligations. At all times, funds in the reinsurance trust account are required to be invested in high credit quality money market funds.

Watford Re Capital Transactions

On July 2, 2019, Watford Holdings Ltd. completed an offering of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% senior notes, due July 2, 2029 (“Watford Senior Notes”). Interest on such notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on each January 2 and July 2, commencing January 2, 2020. The $172.4 million net proceeds from the offering were used to redeem a portion of Watford Holdings Ltd.’s outstanding preference shares.

On August 1, 2019, Watford Holdings Ltd. redeemed 6,919,998 of its 9,065,200 total issued and outstanding Watford Preference Shares. The Watford Preference Shares were redeemed at a total redemption price of $25.19748 per share, inclusive of all declared and unpaid dividends, with accumulation of any undeclared dividends on or after June 30, 2019.

The Company purchased $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Watford Senior Notes. In addition, the Company received $11.5 million pursuant to the redemption of Watford Preference Shares.

Business Acquisition

On July 30, 2019, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Barbican Group Holdings Limited from funds managed by Carlson Capital, a U.S. based alternative asset management firm. The acquisition includes Barbican Managing Agency Limited, Lloyd’s Syndicate 1955, Lloyd’s Syndicate 1856, Lloyd’s Special Purpose Arrangement 6132, Castel Underwriting Agencies Limited and other associated entities. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the late third or early fourth quarter of 2019.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. This should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report and also our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”). In addition, readers should review “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of Part I of our 2018 Form 10-K. Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (“Arch Capital” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Arch”, “we” or “us”) is a Bermuda public limited liability company with approximately ~~$11.85~~$12.49 billion in capital at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and, through operations in Bermuda, the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia, writes insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis.

CURRENT OUTLOOK

Our objective is to achieve an average operating return on average equity of 15% or greater over the insurance cycle, which we believe to be an attractive return to our common shareholders given the risks we assume. We continue to look for opportunities to find acceptable books of business to underwrite without sacrificing underwriting discipline and continue to write a portion of our overall book in catastrophe-exposed business which has the potential to increase the volatility of our operating results.

~~The broad~~Market conditions in our property casualty ~~insurance market environment continues~~segments continued to ~~be competitive,~~improve in the 2019 second quarter, with ~~modest~~ upward rate movement in property and select casualty ~~lines. We believe that the modest improvement in the property~~lines, and casualty markets reflects broader economic growth, particularly in the U.S. However, the spread between rate changes and loss trend continues to be a key variable in assessing expected returns and, in specialty lines, is volatile by nature.we selectively increased our writings. Our underwriting teams continue to execute a disciplined strategy by emphasizing small and medium-sized accounts over large accounts, shrinking premiums in more commoditized lines such as general liability and ~~directors and officers, and~~ by utilizing reinsurance purchases to reduce volatility on large account, high capacity business. We believe that the improvement in the markets reflects broader economic growth, particularly in the U.S. Across the property and casualty industry, we have seen several market opportunities where we have increased our capital deployment, notably in the London markets and excess and surplus lines in the U.S. However, the spread between rate changes and loss trend continues to be a key variable in assessing expected returns and can be difficult to quantify precisely, particularly in specialty lines. Writings in net property catastrophe-exposed business continued to remain low in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter.

Our mortgage segment continues to experience generally favorable market conditions. Although pricing remains competitive in the U.S., borrower credit quality and the general

economy remain strong. Our results continue to reflect our success in making high quality credit underwriting risk decisions and building customer relationships.

Arch remains committed to providing solutions across many offerings as the marketplace evolves, including the mortgage credit risk transfer programs initiated by government sponsored enterprises, or “GSEs,” in 2018. Such programs have continued to generate business. In addition, we completed ~~two~~three Bellemeade risk transfers in March, April and ~~April,~~July 2019, increasing our protection for mortgage tail risk.

FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management uses the following three key financial indicators in evaluating our performance and measuring the overall growth in value generated for Arch Capital’s common shareholders:

Book Value per Share

Book value per share represents total common shareholders’ equity available to Arch divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Management uses growth in book value per share as a key measure of the value generated for our common shareholders each period and believes that book value per share is the key driver of Arch Capital’s share price over time. Book value per share is impacted by, among other factors, our underwriting results, investment returns and share repurchase activity, which has an accretive or dilutive impact on book value per share depending on the purchase price.

Book value per share was $24.64 at June 30, 2019, compared to $23.12 at March 31, 2019 ~~compared to $21.52~~and $20.68 at ~~December 31, 2018 and $20.41 at March 31,~~June 30, 2018. The ~~7.4%~~6.6% increase for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter reflected strong underwriting results and the impact of a decrease in interest rates on our fixed income securities while the ~~13.3%~~ 19.2% increase over the trailing twelve months reflected strong underwriting results and ~~the impact of higher interest rates.~~investment returns.

Operating Return on Average Common Equity

Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”) represents annualized after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders divided by the average of beginning and ending common shareholders’ equity available to Arch during the period. After-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders, a non-GAAP financial

measure as defined in Regulation G, represents net income available to Arch common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings,

~~Table of Contents~~

equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other, loss on redemption of preferred shares and income taxes. Management uses Operating ROAE as a key measure of the return generated to common shareholders. See “Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Our Operating ROAE was ~~12.3%~~13.1% for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~11.3%~~11.6% for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 11.4% for the 2018 period. The 2019 and 2018 returns reflected favorable mortgage insurance underwriting performance, strong investment returns and a low level of catastrophic activity.

Total Return on Investments

Total return on investments includes investment income, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses generated by Arch’s investment portfolio. Total return is calculated on a pre-tax basis and before investment expenses, excludes amounts reflected in the ‘other’ segment, and reflects the effect of financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, total return incorporates the timing of investment returns during the periods. The following table summarizes our total return compared to the benchmark return against which we measured our portfolio during the periods. See “Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Pre-tax total return (before investment expenses):

Pre-tax total return (before investment expenses):
2019 Second Quarter	2.37	%	2.17	%

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019	5.14	%	5.05	%
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018	(0.51	)%	(0.89	)%

~~Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, total return was 2.67% for the 2019 first quarter.~~ Total return for the 2019 ~~first quarter~~periods reflected the impact of a decline in interest rates, which increased the total return on our investment grade fixed income portfolio, aided by favorable returns on equities.

The benchmark return index is a customized combination of indices intended to approximate a target portfolio by asset mix and average credit quality while also matching the approximate estimated duration and currency mix of our insurance and reinsurance liabilities. Although the estimated duration and average credit quality of this index will move as the duration and rating of its constituent securities change, generally we do not adjust the composition of the benchmark return index except

to incorporate changes to the mix of liability currencies and durations noted above. The benchmark return index should not be interpreted as expressing a preference for or aversion to any particular sector or sector weight. The index is intended solely to provide, unlike many master indices that change based on the size of their constituent indices, a relatively stable basket

of investable indices. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the benchmark return index had an average credit quality of “Aa3” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and an estimated duration of 3.06 years.

The benchmark return index included weightings to the following indices:

COMMENT ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this filing, we present our operations in the way we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information in evaluating the performance of our company. This presentation includes the use of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders, which is defined as net income available to Arch common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other, loss on redemption of preferred shares and income taxes, and the use of annualized operating return on average common equity. The presentation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common



ARCH CAPITAL	50	2019 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

shareholders and annualized operating return on average common equity are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to net income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized return on average common equity (the most directly comparable



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	43	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

~~Table of Contents~~

GAAP financial measures) in accordance with Regulation G is included under “Results of Operations” below.

We believe that net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other and loss on redemption of preferred shares in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, our business. Although net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses are an integral part of our operations, the decision to realize investment gains or losses, the recognition of the change in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the fair value option in net realized gains or losses, the recognition of net impairment losses, the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and the recognition of foreign exchange gains or losses are independent of the insurance underwriting process and result, in large part, from general economic and financial market conditions. Furthermore, certain users of our financial information believe that, for many companies, the timing of the realization of investment gains or losses is largely opportunistic. In addition, net impairment losses recognized in earnings on our investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization. The use of the equity method on certain of our investments in certain funds that invest in fixed maturity securities is driven by the ownership structure of such funds (either limited partnerships or limited liability companies). In applying the equity method, these investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the market value of the underlying securities in the funds). This method of accounting is different from the way we account for our other fixed maturity securities and the timing of the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method may differ from gains or losses in the future upon sale or maturity of such investments. Transaction costs and other include advisory, financing, legal, severance, incentive compensation and other transaction costs related to ~~the acquisition of United Guaranty Corporation, a North Carolina corporation (“UGC”) which closed at the end of 2016.~~acquisitions. We believe that transaction costs and other, due to their non-recurring nature, are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, our business performance. The loss on redemption of preferred shares related to the redemption of our Series C preferred shares in January 2018 and had no impact on shareholders' equity or cash flows. Due to these reasons, we exclude net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, equity

in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other and loss on redemption of preferred shares from

the calculation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders.

We believe that showing net income available to Arch common shareholders exclusive of the items referred to above reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business since we evaluate the performance of and manage our business to produce an underwriting profit. In addition to presenting net income available to Arch common shareholders, we believe that this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. We also believe that this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, allows the users of financial information to compare our performance with our industry peer group. We believe that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow us and the insurance industry as a whole generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons.

Our segment information includes the presentation of consolidated underwriting income or loss and a subtotal of underwriting income or loss before the contribution from the ‘other’ segment. Such measures represent the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and include net premiums earned plus other underwriting income, less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition expenses and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include those operating expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our individual underwriting operations. Underwriting income or loss does not incorporate items included in our corporate (non-underwriting) segment. While these measures are presented in note 4, “Segment Information,” of the notes accompanying our consolidated financial statements, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis. The reconciliations of underwriting income or loss to income before income taxes (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a consolidated basis and a subtotal before the contribution from the ‘other’ segment, in accordance with Regulation G, is shown in note 4, “Segment Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

We measure segment performance for our three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. We do not manage our assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangibles and, accordingly, investment income and other non-underwriting related items are not allocated to each underwriting segment. For the ‘other’ segment, performance is measured based on net income or loss.

Along with consolidated underwriting income, we provide a subtotal of underwriting income or loss before the contribution from the ‘other’ segment. The ‘other’ segment includes the

results of Watford Holdings Ltd. Watford Holdings Ltd. is the parent of Watford Re Ltd., a multi-line Bermuda reinsurance company (together with Watford Holdings Ltd., “Watford Re”). Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, Watford Re is considered a variable interest entity and we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Watford Re. As such, we consolidate the results



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	44	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

~~Table of Contents~~

of Watford Re in our consolidated financial statements, although we only own approximately 11% of Watford Re’s common equity. Watford Re has its own management and board of directors that is responsible for its overall profitability. In addition, we do not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re. Since Watford Re is an independent company, the assets of Watford Re can be used only to settle obligations of Watford Re and Watford Re is solely responsible for its own liabilities and commitments. Our financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to our investment in Watford Re’s common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from the reinsurance transactions. We believe that presenting certain information excluding the ‘other’ segment enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how our management analyzes performance.

Our presentation of segment information includes the use of a current year loss ratio which excludes favorable or adverse development in prior year loss reserves. This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measure to the loss ratio (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in accordance with Regulation G is shown on the individual segment pages. Management utilizes the current year loss ratio in its analysis of the underwriting performance of each of our underwriting segments.

Total return on investments includes investment income, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses generated by Arch’s investment portfolio. Total return is calculated on a pre-tax basis and before investment expenses, excludes amounts reflected in the ‘other’ segment, and reflects the effect of financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, total return incorporates the timing of investment returns during the periods. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure for total return. Management uses total return on investments as a key measure of the return generated to Arch common shareholders on the capital held in the business, and compares the return generated by our investment portfolio against benchmark returns which we measured our portfolio against during the periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table summarizes our consolidated financial data, including a reconciliation of net income or loss available to Arch common shareholders to after-tax operating income or loss available to Arch common shareholders. Each line item reflects the impact of our approximate 11% ownership of Watford Re’s common equity.

Segment Information

We classify our businesses into three underwriting segments — insurance, reinsurance and mortgage — and two other operating segments — corporate (non-underwriting) and ‘other.’ Our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to our chief operating decision makers, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Arch Capital and the Chief Financial Officer of Arch Capital. The chief operating decision makers do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. Management measures segment performance for our three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. We do not manage our assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and, accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment.



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	45	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

We determined our reportable segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results.

Current Year Loss Ratio.

The insurance segment’s current year loss ratio in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter was ~~0.9~~0.4 points lower than in the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter and reflected ~~minimal~~0.4 points of current year catastrophic activity, ~~consistent with~~compared to 1.4 points in the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter. The insurance segment’s current year loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 0.6 points lower than in the 2018 period and reflected 0.2 points of current year catastrophic activity, compared to 0.8 points in the 2018 period. The balance of the change in the 2018 loss ratios resulted, in part, from changes in mix of business and the level of large attritional losses.

Prior Period Reserve Development.

The insurance segment’s net favorable development was ~~$4.4~~$2.6 million, or 0.4 points, for the 2019 second quarter, compared to $6.1 million, or 1.1 points, for the 2018 second quarter, and

Underwriting Expenses.

2019 Second Quarter versus 2018 Second Quarter. The insurance segment’s underwriting expense ratio was ~~35.5%~~33.9% in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~32.9%~~33.6% in the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter. Operating expenses increased in the 2019 second quarter due to our recent acquisitions, as well as growth in headcount, primarily in the areas of underwriting and technology. The resulting increase in the expense ratio was partially offset by the growth in net premiums earned.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 versus 2018 period. The insurance segment’s underwriting expense ratio ~~reflected a previously announced change~~was 34.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 33.2% for the 2018 period. Operating expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the recent acquisitions by the Company, as well as growth in headcount, primarily in the ~~timing~~areas of ~~our incentive compensation practices, with a large portion of~~underwriting and technology.

•Other specialty: provides coverage to ceding company clients for proportional motor and other lines, including surety, accident and health, workers’ compensation catastrophe, agriculture, trade credit and political risk.

•Property catastrophe: provides protection for most catastrophic losses that are covered in the underlying policies written by reinsureds, including hurricane, earthquake, flood, tornado, hail and fire, and coverage for other perils on a case-by-case basis. Property catastrophe reinsurance provides coverage on an excess of loss basis when aggregate losses and loss adjustment expense from a single occurrence or aggregation of losses from a covered peril exceed the retention specified in the contract.

•Property excluding property catastrophe: provides coverage for both personal lines and commercial property exposures and principally covers buildings, structures, equipment and contents. The primary perils in this business include fire, explosion, collapse, riot, vandalism, wind, tornado,

flood and earthquake. Business is assumed on both a proportional and excess of loss basis. In addition, facultative business is written which focuses on individual commercial property risks on an excess of loss basis.

•Other: includes life reinsurance business on both a proportional and non-proportional basis, casualty clash business and, in limited instances, non-traditional business which is intended to provide insurers with risk management solutions that complement traditional reinsurance.

Current Year Loss Ratio.

The mortgage segment’s current year loss ratio was ~~5.3~~1.5 points lower in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter than in the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter. The mortgage segment’s current year loss ratio was 3.5 points lower for the six months ended June 30, 2019 than for the 2018 period. The lower current year loss ~~ratio~~ratios for the 2019 ~~first quarter reflects~~periods reflect the current favorable macroeconomic environment.

Prior Period Reserve Development.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was ~~$36.6~~$22.8 million, or ~~11.3~~6.5 points, for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~$13.0~~$23.3 million, or ~~4.6~~8.0 points, for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and $59.4 million, or 8.8 points, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $36.3 million, or 6.4 points, for the 2018 period.

Underwriting Expenses.

2019 Second Quarter versus 2018 Second Quarter. The underwriting expense ratio for the mortgage segment was ~~22.1%~~20.6% in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~23.3%~~22.8% in the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter. The lower ratio in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter primarily resulted from the higher level of net premiums earned.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 versus 2018 period. The underwriting expense ratio for the mortgage segment was 21.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 23.1% for the 2018 period. The lower underwriting expense

ratio in the 2019 period primarily resulted from the higher level of net premiums earned.

Corporate (Non-Underwriting) Segment

Transaction costs and other were ~~$1.2~~$2.2 million for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~$0.8~~$6.9 million for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $7.7 million for the 2018 period. Amounts in ~~both periods~~2019 primarily related to recent acquisition activity while the 2018 activity primarily related to severance and related costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.

Amortization of intangible assets for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter was ~~$20.4~~$19.8 million, compared to ~~$26.7~~$26.5 million for the 2018 ~~first quarter. Expenses in both periods~~second quarter, and $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $53.2 million for the 2018 period. Such expenses primarily related to the UGC acquisition, while the 2019 ~~first quarter~~periods also included amortization related to the previously announced acquisitions of (i) renewal rights of a U.K. commercial lines book of business on January 1, 2019; and (ii) McNeil &Co. on December 6, 2018.

See the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2018 Form 10-K for disclosures on our amortization pattern.

Interest Expense.

Interest expense was ~~$23.5~~$23.4 million for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to the ~~$25.9~~$26.1 million for the 2018 ~~first~~second quarter, ~~reflecting~~and $46.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $52.0 million for the 2018 period. The lower level in the 2019 periods reflected the paydown of revolving credit agreement borrowings in the second half of 2018.

Loss on Redemption of Preferred Shares.

In January 2018, we redeemed all remaining 6.75% Series C preferred shares and, in accordance with GAAP, recorded a loss of $2.7 million to remove original issuance costs related to the redeemed shares from additional paid-in capital. Such adjustment had no impact on total shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Net Realized Gains or Losses.

We recorded net realized gains of ~~$112.4~~$125.1 million for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to net realized losses of ~~$111.9~~$59.5 million for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and net realized gains of $237.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net realized losses of $171.4 million for the 2018 period. Currently, our portfolio is actively managed to maximize total return within certain guidelines. The effect of financial market movements on the investment portfolio will directly impact net realized gains and losses as the portfolio is adjusted and rebalanced. Net realized gains or losses from the sale of fixed maturities primarily results from our decisions to reduce credit exposure, to change duration targets, to rebalance our portfolios or due to relative value determinations. Net realized gains or losses also include realized and unrealized contract gains and losses on our derivative instruments, changes in the fair value

of assets accounted for using the fair value option and in the fair value of equities, along with re-measurement of contingent consideration liability amounts. See note 6, “Investment Information—Net Realized Gains (Losses),” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings.

We recorded ~~$1.3 million of~~minimal impairment losses for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~$0.2~~$0.5 million for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.6 million for the 2018 period. See note 6, “Investment Information—Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investment Funds Accounted for Using the Equity Method.

We recorded ~~$46.9~~$32.5 million of equity in net income related to investment funds accounted for using the equity method in the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, compared to ~~$28.1~~$8.5 million of income for the 2018 ~~first quarter.~~second quarter, and $79.4 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $36.5 million for the 2018 period.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains or Losses.

Net foreign exchange ~~gains~~losses for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter were ~~$5.2~~$6.2 million, compared to net foreign exchange gains for the 2018 second quarter of $46.2 million. Net foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1.0 million, compared to net foreign exchange gains for the 2018 ~~first quarter~~period of ~~$15.0~~$31.2 million. Amounts in both periods were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing our net insurance liabilities required to be settled in foreign currencies at each balance sheet date.

Income Tax Expense.

Our income tax provision on income (loss) before income taxes resulted in an expense of ~~9.4%~~8.7% for the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter and 9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to ~~12.8%~~8.9% for the 2018 ~~period.~~second quarter and 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Our effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction.

Other Segment

The ‘other’ segment includes the results of Watford Re. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, Watford Re is considered a variable interest entity and we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Watford Re. As such, we consolidate the results of Watford Re in our consolidated financial statements, although we only own approximately 11% of Watford Re’s common equity. See note 11, “Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests,” and note 4, “Segment Information,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on Watford Re.

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

We utilize actuarial models as well as available historical insurance industry loss ratio experience and loss development patterns to assist in the establishment of Loss Reserves. Actual losses and loss adjustment expenses paid will deviate, perhaps substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements.

LIQUIDITY

This section does not include information specific to Watford Re. We do not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re, and our financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to our investment in Watford Re’s common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from reinsurance transactions with Watford Re.

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations.

Arch Capital is a holding company whose assets primarily consist of the shares in its subsidiaries. Generally, Arch Capital depends on its available cash resources, liquid investments and dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries to make payments, including the payment of debt service obligations and operating expenses it may incur and any dividends or liquidation amounts with respect to our preferred and common shares.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, Arch Capital received dividends of ~~$39.7~~$67.1 million from Arch Re Bermuda, our Bermuda-based reinsurer and insurer, which can pay approximately ~~$2.58~~$2.56 billion to Arch Capital during the remainder of 2019 without providing an affidavit to the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”).

We expect that our liquidity needs, including our anticipated (re)insurance obligations and operating and capital expenditure needs, for the next twelve months, at a minimum, will be met by funds generated from underwriting activities and investment income, as well as by our balance of cash, short-term investments, proceeds on the sale or maturity of our investments, and our credit facilities.

~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	59	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Arch Capital and Arch-U.S. are each holding companies and, accordingly, they conduct substantially all of their operations through their operating subsidiaries. Arch Capital Finance LLC (“Arch Finance”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Arch U.S. MI Holdings Inc. As a result, Arch Capital, Arch-U.S. and Arch Finance's cash flows and their ability to service their debt depends upon the earnings of their operating subsidiaries, or affiliates in the case of Arch Finance, and on their ability to distribute the earnings, loans or other payments from such subsidiaries or affiliates to Arch Capital, Arch-U.S. and Arch Finance, respectively.

In addition, Arch MI U.S. is required to maintain compliance with the GSEs requirements, known as the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements or “PMIERs.” The financial requirements require an eligible mortgage insurer’s available assets, which generally include only the most liquid assets of an insurer, to meet or exceed “minimum required assets” as of each quarter end. Minimum required assets are calculated from PMIERs tables with several risk dimensions (including origination year, original loan-to-value and original credit score of performing loans, and the delinquency status of non-performing loans) and are subject to a minimum amount. Arch MI U.S. satisfied the PMIERs’ financial requirements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 with an estimated PMIER sufficiency ratio of ~~146%~~163%, compared to 141% at December 31, 2018.

Pursuant to our 2014 acquisition of the CMG Mortgage Insurance Company and its affiliated mortgage insurance companies, we made a contingent consideration payment of $61.5 million in April 2019. The maximum amount of remaining contingent consideration payments over the remaining earn-out period is $6.7 million.

Arch Capital, through its subsidiaries, provides financial support to certain of its insurance subsidiaries and affiliates, through certain reinsurance arrangements beneficial to the ratings of such subsidiaries. Historically, our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance subsidiaries have entered into separate reinsurance arrangements with Arch Re Bermuda covering individual lines of business. The reinsurance agreements between our U.S.-based property casualty insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and Arch Re Bermuda were canceled on a cutoff basis as of January 1, 2018. As a result, the level of subject business ceded to Arch Re Bermuda for the reported periods was substantially lower than in 2017 and prior periods.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The board of directors of Arch Capital has authorized the investment in Arch Capital’s common shares through a share repurchase program. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, Arch Capital repurchased 0.1 million shares under the share repurchase program with an aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million. Since the inception of the share repurchase program through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, Arch Capital has repurchased 386.3 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.97 billion. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, approximately $160.9 million of share repurchases were available under the program, which may be effected from time

to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2019.

The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions under this program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations. We will continue to monitor our share price and, depending upon results of operations, market conditions and the development of the economy, as well as other factors, we will consider share repurchases on an opportunistic basis.

CATASTROPHIC EVENTS AND SEVERE ECONOMIC EVENTS

We have large aggregate exposures to natural and man-made catastrophic events and severe economic events. Catastrophes can be caused by various events, including hurricanes, floods, windstorms, earthquakes, hailstorms, tornadoes, explosions, severe winter weather, fires, droughts and other natural disasters. Catastrophes can also cause losses in non-property business such as mortgage insurance, workers’ compensation or general liability. In addition to the nature of property

business, we believe that economic and geographic trends affecting insured property, including inflation, property value appreciation and geographic concentration, tend to generally increase the size of losses from catastrophic events over time.

Our models employ both proprietary and vendor-based systems and include cross-line correlations for property, marine, offshore energy, aviation, workers compensation and personal accident. We seek to limit the probable maximum pre-tax loss to a specific level for severe catastrophic events. Currently, we seek to limit our 1-in-250 year return period net probable maximum loss from a severe catastrophic event in any geographic zone to approximately 25% of total shareholders’ equity available to Arch. We reserve the right to change this threshold at any time.

Based on in-force exposure estimated as of ~~April~~July 1, 2019, our modeled peak zone catastrophe exposure was a windstorm affecting the Northeastern U.S., with a net probable maximum pre-tax loss of ~~$371~~$398 million, followed by windstorms affecting Florida Tri-County and the Gulf of Mexico regions with net probable maximum pre-tax losses of ~~$313~~$368 million and ~~$302~~$352 million, respectively. Our exposures to other perils, such as U.S. earthquake and international events, were less than the exposures arising from U.S. windstorms and hurricanes. As of ~~April~~July 1, 2019, our modeled peak zone earthquake exposure (San Francisco earthquake) represented approximately ~~80%~~69% of our peak zone catastrophe exposure, and our modeled peak zone international exposure (Japan earthquake) was substantially less than both our peak zone windstorm and earthquake exposures.



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	60	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

Effective July 1, ~~2018,~~2019, our insurance operations had in effect a reinsurance program which provided coverage for certain property-catastrophe related losses equal to $275 million in excess of various retentions per occurrence. ~~Such amounts compare to $200 million in excess of a $150 million retention per occurrence prior to July 1, 2018.~~

We also have significant exposure to losses due to mortgage defaults resulting from severe economic events in the future. For our U.S. mortgage insurance business, we have developed a proprietary risk model (“Realistic Disaster Scenario” or “RDS”) that simulates the maximum loss resulting from a severe economic downturn impacting the housing market. The RDS models the collective impact of adverse conditions for key economic indicators, the most significant of which is a decline in home prices. The RDS model projects paths of future home prices, unemployment rates, income levels and interest rates and assumes correlation across states and geographic regions. The resulting future performance of our in-force portfolio is then estimated under the economic stress scenario, reflecting loan and borrower information.

Currently, we seek to limit our modeled RDS loss from a severe economic event to approximately 25% of total tangible shareholders’ equity available to Arch (total shareholders’ equity available to Arch less goodwill and intangible assets).



ARCH CAPITAL	70	2019 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

We reserve the right to change this threshold at any time. Based on in-force exposure estimated as of ~~April~~July 1, 2019, our modeled RDS loss was ~~less than 10%~~approximatly10% of tangible shareholders’ equity available to Arch.

Net probable maximum loss estimates are net of expected reinsurance recoveries, before income tax and before excess reinsurance reinstatement premiums. RDS loss estimates are net of expected reinsurance recoveries and after income tax. Catastrophe loss estimates are reflective of the zone indicated and not the entire portfolio. Since hurricanes and windstorms can affect more than one zone and make multiple landfalls, our catastrophe loss estimates include clash estimates from other zones. Our catastrophe loss estimates and RDS loss estimates do not represent our maximum exposures and it is highly likely that our actual incurred losses would vary materially from the modeled estimates. There can be no assurances that we will not suffer pre-tax losses greater than 25% of our total shareholders' equity or tangible shareholders’ equity from one or more catastrophic events or severe economic events due to several factors, including the inherent uncertainties in estimating the frequency and severity of such events and the margin of error in making such determinations resulting from potential inaccuracies and inadequacies in the data provided by clients and brokers, the modeling techniques and the application of such techniques or as a result of a decision to change the percentage of shareholders' equity exposed to a single catastrophic event or severe economic event. In addition, actual losses may increase if our reinsurers fail to meet their obligations to us or the reinsurance protections purchased by

us are exhausted or are otherwise unavailable. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Industry” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Catastrophic Events and Severe Economic Events” in our 2018 Form 10-K.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2018 Form 10-K.

MARKET SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

In accordance with the SEC’s Financial Reporting Release No. 48, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures could have on the future earnings, fair values or cash flows of our financial instruments as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. Market risk represents the risk of changes in the fair value of a financial instrument and is comprised of several components, including liquidity, basis and price risks. We have not included Watford Re in the following analyses as we do not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re, and our financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to our

investment in Watford Re’s common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from reinsurance transactions.

An analysis of material changes in market risk exposures at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in our 2018 Form 10-K (see section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management”) were as follows:

Investment Market Risk

Fixed Income Securities. We invest in interest rate sensitive securities, primarily debt securities. We consider the effect of interest rate movements on the fair value of our fixed maturities, fixed maturities pledged under securities lending agreements, short-term investments and certain of our other investments which invest in fixed income securities and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation. As interest rates rise, the fair value of our interest rate sensitive securities falls, and the converse is also true. Based on historical observations, there is a low probability that all interest rate yield curves would shift in the same direction at the same time. Furthermore, at times interest rate movements in certain credit sectors exhibit a much lower correlation to changes in U.S. Treasury yields. Accordingly, the actual effect of interest rate movements may differ materially from the amounts set forth in the following tables.



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	61	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

The following table summarizes the effect that an immediate, parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve would have had on our fixed income securities:

In addition, we consider the effect of credit spread movements on the market value of our fixed maturities, fixed maturities pledged under securities lending agreements, short-term investments and certain of our other investments and investment funds accounted for using the equity method which invest in fixed income securities and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation. As credit spreads widen, the fair value of our fixed income securities falls, and the converse is also true.

Another method that attempts to measure portfolio risk is Value-at-Risk (“VaR”). VaR attempts to take into account a broad cross-section of risks facing a portfolio by utilizing relevant securities volatility data skewed towards the most recent months and quarters. VaR measures the amount of a portfolio at risk for outcomes 1.65 standard deviations from the mean based on normal market conditions over a one year time horizon and is expressed as a percentage of the portfolio’s initial value. In other words, 95% of the time, should the risks taken into account in the VaR model perform per their historical tendencies, the portfolio’s loss in any one year period is expected to be less than or equal to the calculated VaR, stated

as a percentage of the measured portfolio’s initial value. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, our portfolio’s VaR was estimated to be ~~3.29%~~3.31% compared to an estimated 3.02% at December 31, 2018.

Equity Securities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of our investments in equity securities totaled ~~$495.0~~$666.9 million and $368.8 million, respectively. These investments are exposed to price risk, which is the potential loss arising from decreases in fair value. An immediate hypothetical 10% decline in the value of each position would reduce the fair value of such investments by approximately ~~$49.5~~$66.7 million and $36.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and would have decreased book value per share by approximately ~~$0.12~~$0.16 and $0.09, respectively. An immediate hypothetical 10% increase in the value of each position would increase the fair value of such investments by approximately ~~$49.5~~$66.7 million and $36.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and would have increased book value per share by approximately ~~$0.12~~$0.16 and $0.09, respectively.

Investment-Related Derivatives. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the notional value of all derivative instruments (excluding to-be-announced mortgage backed securities which are included in the fixed income securities analysis above and foreign currency forward contracts which are included in the foreign currency exchange risk analysis below) was ~~$6.16~~$7.85 billion, compared to $4.95

billion at December 31, 2018. If the underlying exposure of each investment-related derivative held at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 depreciated by 100 basis points, it would have resulted in a reduction in net income of approximately ~~$61.6~~$78.5 million, and a decrease in book value per share of approximately ~~$0.15~~$0.19 per share, compared to $49.5 million and $0.12 per share, respectively, on investment-related derivatives held at December 31, 2018. If the underlying exposure of each investment-related derivative held at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 appreciated by 100 basis points, it would have resulted in an increase in net income of approximately ~~$61.6~~$78.5 million, and an increase in book value per share of approximately ~~$0.15~~$0.19 per share, compared to $49.5 million and $0.12 per share, respectively, on investment-related derivatives held at December 31, 2018. See note 8, “Derivative Instruments,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures concerning derivatives.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Foreign currency rate risk is the potential change in value, income and cash flow arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Through our subsidiaries and branches located in various foreign countries, we conduct our insurance and reinsurance operations in a variety of local currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We generally hold



~~ARCH CAPITAL~~	62	~~2019 FIRST QUARTER FORM 10-Q~~

~~Table of Contents~~

investments in foreign currencies which are intended to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in our net insurance liabilities. We may also utilize foreign currency forward contracts and currency options as part of our investment strategy. See note 8, “Derivative Instruments,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.



ARCH CAPITAL	72	2019 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

The following table provides a summary of our net foreign currency exchange exposures, as well as foreign currency derivatives in place to manage these exposures:

(1)	Represents capital contributions held in the foreign currencies of our operating units.


(2)	Represents the net notional value of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Although we generally attempt to match the currency of our projected liabilities with investments in the same currencies, from time to time we may elect to over or underweight one or more currencies, which could increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and increase the volatility of our shareholders’ equity. Historical observations indicate a low probability that all foreign currency exchange rates would shift against the U.S. Dollar in the same direction and at the same time and, accordingly, the actual effect of foreign currency rate movements may differ materially from the amounts set forth above. For further discussion on foreign exchange activity, please refer to “—Results of Operations.”

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, except insofar as inflation may affect our ~~reserves~~reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest rates. The potential exists, after a catastrophe loss, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy. The anticipated effects of inflation on us are

considered in our catastrophe loss models. The actual effects of inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately settled.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The consolidated financial statements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and for the three month and six month periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 have been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the registrant's independent public accountants, whose report is included as an exhibit to this filing. The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to applicable Exchange Act Rules as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of and during the period covered by this report with respect to information being recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and with respect to timely communication to them and other members of management responsible for preparing periodic reports of all material information required to be disclosed in this report as it relates to Arch Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We continue to enhance our operating procedures and internal controls to effectively support our business and our regulatory and reporting requirements. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatement due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

In accordance with Section 10a(i)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are responsible for disclosing non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which are approved by the Audit Committee of our board of directors. During the 2019 ~~first~~second quarter, the Audit Committee approved engagements of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for permitted non-audit services, which consisted of tax consulting services, tax compliance services and other accounting consulting services.

Disclosure of Certain Activities Under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or an affiliate knowingly engaged in certain activities described in that section, including certain activities related to Iran during the period covered by the report.

Certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries underwrite insurance and facultative reinsurance on a global basis to non-U.S. insureds and insurers, including for liability, marine, aviation and energy risks. Coverage provided to non-Iranian business may indirectly cover an exposure in Iran. For example, certain of our operations underwrite global marine hull and cargo policies that provide coverage for vessels navigating into and out of ports worldwide, including Iran. For the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, there has been no material amount of premium allocated or apportioned to activities relating to Iran, and we are unable to attribute gross revenues or net profits from any such policies because they insure multiple voyages and fleets containing multiple ships. Such non-U.S. subsidiaries will continue to provide such coverage only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
