Application of the Safe Harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Some of the statements in this financial supplement may include forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements may include forward-looking statements both with respect to us in general and the insurance and reinsurance sectors specifically, both as to underwriting and investment matters. Statements which include the words ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘seek,’’ ‘‘will,’’ and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements in this financial supplement for purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only to the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, when as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or may be important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, competition, possible terrorism or the outbreak of war, the frequency or severity of unpredictable catastrophic events, changes in demand for insurance or reinsurance, rating agency actions, uncertainties in our reserving process, a change in our tax status, acceptance of our products, the availability of reinsurance or retrocessional coverage, retention of key personnel, political conditions, the impact of current regulatory investigations, changes in accounting policies, changes in general economic conditions and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.





ENDURANCE SPECIALTY HOLDINGS LTD.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DEFINITIONS AND PRESENTATION

•  All financial information contained herein is unaudited, except the balance sheet and income statement data for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, which was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
•  Unless otherwise noted, all data is in thousands, except for per share, percentage and ratio information.
•  As used in this financial supplement, ‘‘common shares’’ refers to our ordinary shares and class A shares, collectively.
•  Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of claims and claims adjustment expense to earned premiums. The acquisition expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (commissions, taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwriting expenses) to earned premiums. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of losses and expenses, respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of earned premium. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstrates underwriting loss.
•  GAAP combined ratios differ from statutory combined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third party acquisition expenses for GAAP reporting purposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisition expense and the general & administrative expense ratios.
•  NM – Not meaningful; NA – Not Applicable; LTM – Latest twelve months.

ENDURANCE SPECIALTY HOLDINGS LTD.

Annual Aggregate Risk Curve

The above chart represents a cumulative analysis of our in-force underwriting portfolio on a full year basis based on thousands of potential scenarios. Loss years are driven largely by the occurrence of natural catastrophes and incorrect pricing of other property and casualty exposures. The operating income depicted includes net premiums earned plus net investment income, acquisition expenses and G&A expenses. Forecasted investment income, acquisition and G&A expenses are held constant across all scenarios. Losses included above are net of reinsurance including collateralized reinsurance and ILW purchases. Our stated objective is to maintain a risk management tolerance that limits our loss in a 1-in-100 year year to be no more than 25% of our equity capital. We base our budget and forecasts on the average result, although the nature of the curve places the median result further to the right.

Changes in Endurance’s underwriting portfolio, investment portfolio, risk control mechanisms, market conditions and other factors may cause actual results to vary considerably from those indicated by our value at risk curve. For a listing of risks related to Endurance and its future performance, please see ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note: Warrants, options and unvested restricted share units that are anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding. Warrants, options and unvested restricted share units are anti-dilutive for earnings per share in any period in which there is a net loss and the anti-dilution is reflected in the calculations above as additional treasury method repurchases. Restricted share units are included in the calculation of basic and diluted weighted shares outstanding. The treasury stock method assumes that the proceeds received from the exercise of options or warrants will be used to repurchase the Company’s common shares at the average market price during the period of calculation. SFAS No. 123R also requires that any unrecognized stock based compensation expense that will be recorded in future periods be included as proceeds for purposes of the treasury stock repurchases.

ENDURANCE SPECIALTY HOLDINGS LTD.

REGULATION G

In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the Company’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP.

Operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company in the management of its operations. Operating income represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized capital gains or losses and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. The Company believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Company’s results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Company’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 31 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income.

Return on Average Equity (ROAE) is comprised using the average common equity calculated as the arithmetic average of the beginning and ending common equity balances for stated periods. Return on Beginning Equity (ROBE) is comprised using the beginning common equity for stated periods.
