Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and include AXIS Capital Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Tabular dollar and share amounts are in thousands, with the exception of per share amounts. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars.
Consolidation/VIEs	All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements reflect its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include: •reserve for losses and loss expenses; •reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses, including the allowance for expected credit losses; •gross premiums written and net premiums earned; •fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities; and •the allowance for credit losses associated with fixed maturities, available for sale.
Investments	Fixed Maturities, Available for Sale, at Fair Value and Fixed Maturities, Held to Maturity, at Amortized Cost Fixed maturities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements') and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The change in fair values of fixed maturities, net of tax is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") in total shareholders’ equity. Fixed maturities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity or redemption. Fixed maturities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Net investment income includes interest income and the amortization of market premiums and discounts and is presented net of investment expenses. Investment income is recognized when earned. Purchases and sales of fixed maturities are recorded on a trade-date basis and realized gains (losses) on sales of fixed maturities are determined based on the specific identification method. Realized gains (losses) on fixed maturities are included in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes investment income from fixed maturities based on the constant effective yield method, which includes an adjustment for estimated principal repayments, if applicable. The effective yield used to determine the amortization of fixed maturities subject to prepayment risk (e.g., asset-backed, mortgage-backed and other structured securities) is recalculated and adjusted periodically based on historical and/or projected future cash flows. Adjustments to the yield for highly rated prepayable fixed maturities are accounted for using the retrospective method. Adjustments to the yield for other prepayable fixed maturities are accounted for using the prospective method. Credit Losses - Fixed Maturities, Available for Sale A fixed maturity, available for sale security is impaired if the fair value of the investment is below amortized cost. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all fixed maturities, available for sale securities for impairment losses. If a fixed maturity, available for sale security is impaired and the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the full amount of the impairment loss is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses). In instances where the Company intends to hold the impaired fixed maturity, available for sale security the Company determines whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the Company does not anticipate to fully recover the amortized cost, an allowance for expected credit losses is established. The allowance for expected credit losses is limited to the difference between a security's amortized cost basis and its fair value. The allowance for expected credit losses is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses). On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether unrealized losses on fixed maturities, available for sale represent credit impairments by considering the following factors: a.the extent to which the fair value is less than amortized cost; b.adverse conditions related to the security, industry, or geographical area; c.downgrades in the security's credit rating by a credit rating agency; and d.failure of the issuer to make scheduled principal or interest payments. The length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position no longer impacts the determination of whether a credit loss exists. If a security is assessed to be credit impaired, it is subject to a discounted cash flow analysis by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized. If the present value of expected future cash flows is equal to or greater than the amortized cost basis, an expected credit loss does not exist. The non-credit impairment amount of the loss (i.e., related to interest rates, market conditions, etc.) is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports accrued interest receivable related to available for sale debt securities separately and has elected not to measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Write-offs of accrued interest receivable balances are recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Credit Losses - Fixed Maturities, Held to Maturity A fixed maturity, held to maturity security is impaired if the fair value of the investment is below amortized cost. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all fixed maturities, held to maturity securities for impairment losses. The Company's fixed maturity, held to maturity securities portfolio consists of asset-backed securities ("ABS") and corporate debt securities. The Company's ABS, held to maturity consist of CLO debt tranched securities. The Company uses a scenario-based approach to review its CLO debt portfolio and reviews subordination levels of these securities to determine their ability to absorb credit losses of the underlying collateral. If losses are forecast to be below the subordination level for a tranche held by the Company, the security is determined not to have a credit loss. To estimate expected credit losses for corporate debt securities, held to maturity, the Company's projected cash flows are primarily driven by assumptions regarding the severity of loss, which is a function of the probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's default and recovery rates are based on credit ratings, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s analysis of projected lifetime losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Equity Securities, at Fair Value Equity securities are reported at fair value. The change in the fair values of equity securities, net of tax is recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Net investment income includes dividend income and is presented net of investment expenses. Investment income is recognized when earned. Purchases and sales of equity securities are recorded on a trade-date basis and realized gains (losses) on sales of equity securities are determined based on the specific identification method. Realized gains (losses) on equity securities are included in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Mortgage Loans, Held for Investment, at Fair Value Mortgage loans, held for investment are reported at amortized cost which is calculated as the unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized based on an effective yield method which gives effect to the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Mortgage loans, held for investment are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s analysis of projected lifetime losses. These projections take into account the Company’s experience with credit quality indicators, loan losses, defaults, loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Other Investments Other investments are recorded at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements'). Changes in fair value and realized gains (losses) are reported in net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. Equity Method Investments Investments in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are classified as equity method investments and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method of accounting, investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss of the investee. Adjustments are based on the most recently available financial information from the investee. Changes in the carrying value of these investments are recorded in net income (loss) as interest in income (loss) of equity method investments. Short-term Investments Short-term investments primarily comprise highly liquid debt securities with maturities greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. These investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash equivalents include money-market funds, fixed interest deposits and reverse repurchase agreements with a maturity of under 90 days when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these securities. Restricted cash primarily relates to funds held in trust to support obligations in regulatory jurisdictions where the Company operates as a non-admitted carrier and to support underwriting activities at Lloyd's.
Premiums - Gross Premiums Written	Insurance premiums written are recorded in accordance with the terms of the underlying policies. Reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on estimates received from ceding companies. For multi-year contracts insurance and reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on management’s best estimate of total premiums to be received. Premiums are recognized on an annual basis for multi-year contracts where the cedant has the ability to unilaterally commute or cancel coverage within the term of the contract. Any adjustments to insurance and reinsurance premium estimates are recognized in the period in which they are determined.
Premiums - Net Premiums Earned	Insurance and reinsurance premiums are earned over the period during which the Company is exposed to the underlying risk, which is generally one to two years with the exception of multi-year contracts. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums which relate to the unexpired term under contracts in force. Reinstatement premiums are recognized and earned at the time a loss event occurs and losses are recorded, where the coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under pre-defined contract terms. The recognition of reinstatement premiums is based on estimates of losses and loss expenses, which reflects management’s judgment (refer to Note 2(d) 'Losses and Loss Expenses').
Premiums - Receivables	Insurance and reinsurance premium balances receivable ("premium balances receivable") are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company's analysis of amounts due, historical delinquencies and write-offs, and current economic conditions, together with reasonable and supportable forecasts of short-term economic conditions. The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net income (loss). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Write-offs of premium balances receivable, together with associated allowances for expected credit losses, are recognized in the period in which balances are deemed uncollectible. The Company does not have a history of significant write-offs.
Acquisition Costs	Acquisition costs vary with and are directly related to the successful acquisition efforts of acquiring new or renewing existing insurance and reinsurance contracts and consist primarily of fees and commissions paid to brokers and premium taxes. In addition, certain of the Company's contracts include profit commission provisions or other adjustable features that are estimated based on expected losses and loss expenses for those contracts. Acquisition costs are shown net of commissions on reinsurance purchased. Net acquisition costs are deferred and charged to net income (loss) as the related premium is earned. Insurance and reinsurance premium balances receivable is presented net of acquisition costs when contract terms provide for the right of offset. Anticipated losses and loss expenses, other costs and investment income related to these premiums are considered in assessing the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs. Deferred acquisition cost amounts that are assessed to be irrecoverable are recognized in net income (loss) in the period in which the determination is made. Compensation expenses for personnel involved in contract acquisition, and advertising costs, are charged to net income (loss) when incurred.
Losses and Loss Expenses	Reserve for losses and loss expenses represents an estimate of the unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses for insured and reinsured events that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date. These amounts reflect claims that have been reported ("case reserves") and claims that have been incurred but have not yet been reported ("IBNR") and are reduced for estimated amounts of salvage and subrogation recoveries. The Company reviews its reserve for losses and loss expenses on a quarterly basis. Case reserves are primarily established based on amounts reported by clients and/or their brokers. Management estimates IBNR after reviewing detailed actuarial analyses and applying informed judgment regarding qualitative factors that may not be fully captured in the actuarial estimates. A variety of actuarial methods are utilized in this process, including the Expected Loss Ratio, Chain Ladder and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods. The estimate is highly dependent on management’s judgment as to which method(s) are most appropriate for a particular accident/underwriting year and line of business. Historical claims data may be supplemented with industry benchmarks when applying these methodologies. Any adjustments to estimates of reserve for losses and loss expenses are recognized in the period in which they are determined. While the Company believes that its reserves for losses and loss expenses are adequate, this estimate requires significant judgment and new information, events or circumstances may result in ultimate losses that are materially greater or less than provided for in the consolidated balance sheets.
Reinsurance	In the normal course of business, the Company purchases facultative and treaty reinsurance protection to limit its ultimate losses and to reduce its loss aggregation risk. The premiums paid to reinsurers (i.e., ceded premiums written) are recognized over the coverage period. Prepaid reinsurance premiums represent the portion of premiums ceded which relate to the unexpired term of the contracts in force. Reinstatement premiums are recognized and earned at the time a loss event occurs and losses are recorded, where the coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under pre-defined contract terms. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses ("reinsurance recoverables") related to case reserves is estimated on a case-by-case basis by applying the terms of applicable reinsurance cover to individual case reserve estimates. Reinsurance recoverables related to IBNR is generally developed as part of the Company's loss reserving process, therefore, its estimation is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimation of IBNR. Estimates of amounts to be ceded under excess of loss reinsurance contracts also take into account pricing information for those contracts and require greater judgment than estimates for proportional contracts. Reinsurance recoverable balances are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. A case-specific allowance for expected credit losses against reinsurance recoverables that we deem are unlikely to be collected in full, is estimated based on the Company's analysis of amounts due, historical delinquencies and write-offs. In addition, a default analysis is used to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on the remainder of the reinsurance recoverable balance. The principal components of the default analysis are reinsurance recoverable balances by reinsurer and default factors applied to estimate uncollectible amounts based on reinsurers’ credit ratings and the length of collection periods. The default factors are based on a model developed by a major rating agency. The default analysis considers current and forecasted economic conditions. The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net income (loss). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Write-offs of reinsurance recoverable balances, together with associated allowances for expected credit losses, are recognized in the period in which balances are deemed uncollectible. The Company does not have a history of significant write-offs. Retroactive Reinsurance Retroactive reinsurance reimburses a ceding company for liabilities incurred as a result of past insurable events covered under contracts subject to the reinsurance. In certain instances, reinsurance contracts cover losses both on a prospective basis and on a retroactive basis and where practical the Company bifurcates the prospective and retroactive elements of these reinsurance contracts and accounts for each element separately. Initial gains in connection with retroactive reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortized into net income (loss) over the claims settlement period while losses are recognized immediately. When changes in the estimated amount recoverable from the reinsurer or in the timing of receipts related to that amount occur, a cumulative amortization adjustment is recognized in net income (loss) in the period in which the change is determined so that the deferred gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised estimate been available at the inception of the reinsurance transaction.
Foreign Exchange	The functional currency of the Company and the majority of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All foreign currency transactions are initially measured and recorded in functional currency using the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured to functional currency at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date with the resulting foreign exchange losses (gains) generally being recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange losses (gains) related to available for sale securities denominated in foreign currency represent an unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of the securities and are included in AOCI in total shareholders’ equity. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are not subsequently remeasured. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries and branches where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated using the weighted average foreign exchange rates for the period. The effect of translation adjustments is reported as a separate component of AOCI in total shareholders’ equity.
Share-based Compensation	The Company is authorized to issue restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to its employees and directors. The Company's plan includes share-settled and cash-settled service awards and share-settled performance awards. Restricted Stock Units - Share-Settled and Cash-Settled The fair value of share-settled and cash-settled service awards is based on market value of the Company's common shares measured at the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period. The fair value of the cash-settled service awards is recognized as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets and is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur. Performance Restricted Stock Units - Share-Settled The fair value of share-settled performance awards which include a market condition is measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model which requires inputs including share price, expected volatility, expected term, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. The fair value of share-settled performance awards which include a performance condition is based on the closing price of the Company's common shares measured at the grant date. The fair value of share-settled performance awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.
Derivative Instruments	The Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts as part of its overall foreign currency risk management strategy, to obtain exposure to a particular financial market or for yield enhancement. From time to time the Company may also enter into insurance and reinsurance contracts that meet the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") definition of a derivative contract. The Company measures all derivative instruments at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements') and recognizes these instruments in either other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes in fair value and realized gains (losses) are recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	The Company recognizes goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with certain acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in these acquisitions and is not amortized. Other intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the estimated useful live of the intangible asset. Other intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment during the fourth quarter each year and between annual tests if an event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset is impaired. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations. For the purpose of evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For the purpose of evaluating indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment, it first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. For the purposes of evaluating goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. For other finite-lived intangible assets the Company tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If goodwill or an intangible asset is impaired, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and a corresponding expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes	Certain subsidiaries and branches of the Company operate in jurisdictions where they are subject to taxation. Current and deferred income taxes are charged or credited to net income (loss), or in certain cases to AOCI, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in the period in which the tax becomes accruable or realizable. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets and those reported in the various jurisdictional tax returns. When the assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized in the foreseeable future, a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained on audit by the relevant taxing authorities.
Treasury Shares	Common shares repurchased by the Company and not subsequently canceled are classified as treasury shares and are recorded at cost. This results in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of shares reissued from treasury.
Leases	The Company recognizes 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 related to office property and equipment leases. The Company accounts for non-lease components separately from lease components. As a result, the non-lease components associated with the Company's leases are not included in the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not record office property and equipment leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024 and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024 Segment Reporting Effective October 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which aims to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments applicable to the Company require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and are included within the Company's reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the "significant expense principle"). In addition, the Company is required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources (refer to Note 3 'Segment Information').The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The amendments in this Update provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as follows: Rate Reconciliation The amendments in this Update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). Income Taxes Paid The amendments in this Update require that all entities disclose on an annual basis (1) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) if equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received) Other Disclosures The amendments in this Update require that all entities disclose (1) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and (2) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement for all entities to (1) disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or (2) make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application permitted. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense" which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The amendments require public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered "relevant" (referred to as "relevant expense captions") because they include one or more of the five natural expense categories. Such disclosures must be made on an annual and interim basis in a tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into applicable natural expense categories including (1) employee compensation (2) depreciation and (3) intangible asset amortization. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods, effective within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and include AXIS Capital Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Tabular dollar and share amounts are in thousands, with the exception of per share amounts. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars.

Consolidation/VIEs

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements reflect its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include:

•reserve for losses and loss expenses;

•reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses, including the allowance for expected credit losses;

•gross premiums written and net premiums earned;

•fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities; and

•the allowance for credit losses associated with fixed maturities, available for sale.

Investments

Fixed Maturities, Available for Sale, at Fair Value and Fixed Maturities, Held to Maturity, at Amortized Cost

Fixed maturities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements') and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The change in fair values of fixed maturities, net of tax is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") in total shareholders’ equity.

Fixed maturities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity or redemption. Fixed maturities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses.

Net investment income includes interest income and the amortization of market premiums and discounts and is presented net of investment expenses. Investment income is recognized when earned. Purchases and sales of fixed maturities are recorded on a trade-date basis and realized gains (losses) on sales of fixed maturities are determined based on the specific identification method. Realized gains (losses) on fixed maturities are included in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognizes investment income from fixed maturities based on the constant effective yield method, which includes an adjustment for estimated principal repayments, if applicable. The effective yield used to determine the amortization of fixed maturities subject to prepayment risk (e.g., asset-backed, mortgage-backed and other structured securities) is recalculated and adjusted periodically based on historical and/or projected future cash flows. Adjustments to the yield for highly rated prepayable fixed maturities are accounted for using the retrospective method. Adjustments to the yield for other prepayable fixed maturities are accounted for using the prospective method.

Credit Losses - Fixed Maturities, Available for Sale

A fixed maturity, available for sale security is impaired if the fair value of the investment is below amortized cost. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all fixed maturities, available for sale securities for impairment losses.

If a fixed maturity, available for sale security is impaired and the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the full amount of the impairment loss is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses).

In instances where the Company intends to hold the impaired fixed maturity, available for sale security the Company determines whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the Company does not anticipate to fully recover the amortized cost, an allowance for expected credit losses is established. The allowance for expected credit losses is limited to the difference between a security's amortized cost basis and its fair value. The allowance for expected credit losses is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses).

On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether unrealized losses on fixed maturities, available for sale represent credit impairments by considering the following factors:

a.the extent to which the fair value is less than amortized cost;

b.adverse conditions related to the security, industry, or geographical area;

c.downgrades in the security's credit rating by a credit rating agency; and

d.failure of the issuer to make scheduled principal or interest payments.

The length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position no longer impacts the determination of whether a credit loss exists.

If a security is assessed to be credit impaired, it is subject to a discounted cash flow analysis by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized. If the present value of expected future cash flows is equal to or greater than the amortized cost basis, an expected credit loss does not exist.

The non-credit impairment amount of the loss (i.e., related to interest rates, market conditions, etc.) is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company reports accrued interest receivable related to available for sale debt securities separately and has elected not to measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Write-offs of accrued interest receivable balances are recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible.

Credit Losses - Fixed Maturities, Held to Maturity

A fixed maturity, held to maturity security is impaired if the fair value of the investment is below amortized cost. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all fixed maturities, held to maturity securities for impairment losses.

The Company's fixed maturity, held to maturity securities portfolio consists of asset-backed securities ("ABS") and corporate debt securities.

The Company's ABS, held to maturity consist of CLO debt tranched securities. The Company uses a scenario-based approach to review its CLO debt portfolio and reviews subordination levels of these securities to determine their ability to absorb credit losses of the underlying collateral. If losses are forecast to be below the subordination level for a tranche held by the Company, the security is determined not to have a credit loss.

To estimate expected credit losses for corporate debt securities, held to maturity, the Company's projected cash flows are primarily driven by assumptions regarding the severity of loss, which is a function of the probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's default and recovery rates are based on credit ratings, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts.

The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s analysis of projected lifetime losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is charged to net income (loss) and is included in net investment gains (losses). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined.

Equity Securities, at Fair Value

Equity securities are reported at fair value. The change in the fair values of equity securities, net of tax is recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Net investment income includes dividend income and is presented net of investment expenses. Investment income is recognized when earned. Purchases and sales of equity securities are recorded on a trade-date basis and realized gains (losses) on sales of equity securities are determined based on the specific identification method. Realized gains (losses) on equity securities are included in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Mortgage Loans, Held for Investment, at Fair Value

Mortgage loans, held for investment are reported at amortized cost which is calculated as the unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses.

Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized based on an effective yield method which gives effect to the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Mortgage loans, held for investment are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company’s analysis of projected lifetime losses. These projections take into account the Company’s experience with credit quality indicators, loan losses, defaults, loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available.

The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined.

Other Investments

Other investments are recorded at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements'). Changes in fair value and realized gains (losses) are reported in net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Method Investments

Investments in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are classified as equity method investments and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method of accounting, investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss of the investee. Adjustments are based on the most recently available financial information from the investee. Changes in the carrying value of these investments are recorded in net income (loss) as interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments primarily comprise highly liquid debt securities with maturities greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. These investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include money-market funds, fixed interest deposits and reverse repurchase agreements with a maturity of under 90 days when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these securities. Restricted cash primarily relates to funds held in trust to support obligations in regulatory jurisdictions where the Company operates as a non-admitted carrier and to support underwriting activities at Lloyd's.

Premiums - Gross Premiums Written

Insurance premiums written are recorded in accordance with the terms of the underlying policies.

Reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on estimates received from ceding companies.

For multi-year contracts insurance and reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on management’s best estimate of total premiums to be received. Premiums are recognized on an annual basis for multi-year contracts where the cedant has the ability to unilaterally commute or cancel coverage within the term of the contract.

Any adjustments to insurance and reinsurance premium estimates are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

Premiums - Net Premiums Earned

Insurance and reinsurance premiums are earned over the period during which the Company is exposed to the underlying risk, which is generally one to two years with the exception of multi-year contracts. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums which relate to the unexpired term under contracts in force.

Reinstatement premiums are recognized and earned at the time a loss event occurs and losses are recorded, where the coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under pre-defined contract terms. The recognition of reinstatement premiums is based on estimates of losses and loss expenses, which reflects management’s judgment (refer to Note 2(d) 'Losses and Loss Expenses').

Premiums - Receivables

Insurance and reinsurance premium balances receivable ("premium balances receivable") are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated based on the Company's analysis of amounts due, historical delinquencies and write-offs, and current economic conditions, together with reasonable and supportable forecasts of short-term economic conditions.

The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net income (loss). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined.

Write-offs of premium balances receivable, together with associated allowances for expected credit losses, are recognized in the period in which balances are deemed uncollectible. The Company does not have a history of significant write-offs.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs vary with and are directly related to the successful acquisition efforts of acquiring new or renewing existing insurance and reinsurance contracts and consist primarily of fees and commissions paid to brokers and premium taxes. In addition, certain of the Company's contracts include profit commission provisions or other adjustable features that are estimated based on expected losses and loss expenses for those contracts. Acquisition costs are shown net of commissions on reinsurance purchased. Net acquisition costs are deferred and charged to net income (loss) as the related premium is earned.

Insurance and reinsurance premium balances receivable is presented net of acquisition costs when contract terms provide for the right of offset.

Anticipated losses and loss expenses, other costs and investment income related to these premiums are considered in assessing the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs. Deferred acquisition cost amounts that are assessed to be irrecoverable are recognized in net income (loss) in the period in which the determination is made. Compensation expenses for personnel involved in contract acquisition, and advertising costs, are charged to net income (loss) when incurred.

Losses and Loss Expenses

Reserve for losses and loss expenses represents an estimate of the unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses for insured and reinsured events that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date. These amounts reflect claims that have been reported ("case reserves") and claims that have been incurred but have not yet been reported ("IBNR") and are reduced for estimated amounts of salvage and subrogation recoveries.

The Company reviews its reserve for losses and loss expenses on a quarterly basis. Case reserves are primarily established based on amounts reported by clients and/or their brokers. Management estimates IBNR after reviewing detailed actuarial analyses and applying informed judgment regarding qualitative factors that may not be fully captured in the actuarial estimates. A variety of actuarial methods are utilized in this process, including the Expected Loss Ratio, Chain Ladder and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods. The estimate is highly dependent on management’s judgment as to which method(s) are most appropriate for a particular accident/underwriting year and line of business. Historical claims data may be supplemented with industry benchmarks when applying these methodologies.

Any adjustments to estimates of reserve for losses and loss expenses are recognized in the period in which they are determined. While the Company believes that its reserves for losses and loss expenses are adequate, this estimate requires significant judgment and new information, events or circumstances may result in ultimate losses that are materially greater or less than provided for in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company purchases facultative and treaty reinsurance protection to limit its ultimate losses and to reduce its loss aggregation risk. The premiums paid to reinsurers (i.e., ceded premiums written) are recognized over the coverage period. Prepaid reinsurance premiums represent the portion of premiums ceded which relate to the unexpired term of the contracts in force. Reinstatement premiums are recognized and earned at the time a loss event occurs and losses are recorded, where the coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under pre-defined contract terms.

Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses ("reinsurance recoverables") related to case reserves is estimated on a case-by-case basis by applying the terms of applicable reinsurance cover to individual case reserve estimates. Reinsurance recoverables related to IBNR is generally developed as part of the Company's loss reserving process, therefore, its estimation is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimation of IBNR. Estimates of amounts to be ceded under excess of loss reinsurance contracts also take into account pricing information for those contracts and require greater judgment than estimates for proportional contracts.

Reinsurance recoverable balances are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses.

A case-specific allowance for expected credit losses against reinsurance recoverables that we deem are unlikely to be collected in full, is estimated based on the Company's analysis of amounts due, historical delinquencies and write-offs. In addition, a default analysis is used to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on the remainder of the reinsurance recoverable balance. The principal components of the default analysis are reinsurance recoverable balances by reinsurer and default factors applied to estimate uncollectible amounts based on reinsurers’ credit ratings and the length of collection

periods. The default factors are based on a model developed by a major rating agency. The default analysis considers current and forecasted economic conditions.

The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in net income (loss). Any adjustment to the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Write-offs of reinsurance recoverable balances, together with associated allowances for expected credit losses, are recognized in the period in which balances are deemed uncollectible. The Company does not have a history of significant write-offs.

Retroactive Reinsurance

Retroactive reinsurance reimburses a ceding company for liabilities incurred as a result of past insurable events covered under contracts subject to the reinsurance. In certain instances, reinsurance contracts cover losses both on a prospective basis and on a retroactive basis and where practical the Company bifurcates the prospective and retroactive elements of these reinsurance contracts and accounts for each element separately. Initial gains in connection with retroactive reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortized into net income (loss) over the claims settlement period while losses are recognized immediately. When changes in the estimated amount recoverable from the reinsurer or in the timing of receipts related to that amount occur, a cumulative amortization adjustment is recognized in net income (loss) in the period in which the change is determined so that the deferred gain reflects the balance that would have existed had the revised estimate been available at the inception of the reinsurance transaction.

Foreign Exchange

The functional currency of the Company and the majority of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All foreign currency transactions are initially measured and recorded in functional currency using the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction date.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured to functional currency at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date with the resulting foreign exchange losses (gains) generally being recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange losses (gains) related to available for sale securities denominated in foreign currency represent an unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of the securities and are included in AOCI in total shareholders’ equity. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are not subsequently remeasured.

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries and branches where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated using the weighted average foreign exchange rates for the period. The effect of translation adjustments is reported as a separate component of AOCI in total shareholders’ equity.

Share-based Compensation

The Company is authorized to issue restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to its employees and directors. The Company's plan includes share-settled and cash-settled service awards and share-settled performance awards.

Restricted Stock Units - Share-Settled and Cash-Settled

The fair value of share-settled and cash-settled service awards is based on market value of the Company's common shares measured at the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period. The fair value of the cash-settled service awards is recognized as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets and is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

Performance Restricted Stock Units - Share-Settled

The fair value of share-settled performance awards which include a market condition is measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model which requires inputs including share price, expected volatility, expected term, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. The fair value of share-settled performance awards which include a performance condition is based on the closing price of the Company's common shares measured at the grant date.

The fair value of share-settled performance awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

Derivative Instruments

The Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts as part of its overall foreign currency risk management strategy, to obtain exposure to a particular financial market or for yield enhancement.

From time to time the Company may also enter into insurance and reinsurance contracts that meet the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") definition of a derivative contract.

The Company measures all derivative instruments at fair value (refer to Note 6 'Fair Value Measurements') and recognizes these instruments in either other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes in fair value and realized gains (losses) are recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company recognizes goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with certain acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in these acquisitions and is not amortized. Other intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the estimated useful live of the intangible asset. Other intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment during the fourth quarter each year and between annual tests if an event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset is impaired. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations.

For the purpose of evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

For the purpose of evaluating indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment, it first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test.

For the purposes of evaluating goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.

For other finite-lived intangible assets the Company tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.

If goodwill or an intangible asset is impaired, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and a corresponding expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Certain subsidiaries and branches of the Company operate in jurisdictions where they are subject to taxation.

Current and deferred income taxes are charged or credited to net income (loss), or in certain cases to AOCI, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in the period in which the tax becomes accruable or realizable.

Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets and those reported in the various jurisdictional tax returns. When the assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized in the foreseeable future, a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained on audit by the relevant taxing authorities.

Treasury Shares

Common shares repurchased by the Company and not subsequently canceled are classified as treasury shares and are recorded at cost. This results in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of shares reissued from treasury.

Leases

The Company recognizes 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 related to office property and equipment leases.

The Company accounts for non-lease components separately from lease components. As a result, the non-lease components associated with the Company's leases are not included in the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The Company does not record office property and equipment leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024 and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024

Segment Reporting

Effective October 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which aims to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments applicable to the Company require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and are included within the Company's reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the "significant expense principle"). In addition, the Company is required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources (refer to Note 3 'Segment Information').The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The amendments in this Update provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as follows:

Rate Reconciliation

The amendments in this Update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate).

Income Taxes Paid

The amendments in this Update require that all entities disclose on an annual basis (1) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) if equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received)

Other Disclosures

The amendments in this Update require that all entities disclose (1) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and (2) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign.

The amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement for all entities to (1) disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or (2) make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made.

The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries.

The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application permitted.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense" which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements.

The amendments require public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered "relevant" (referred to as "relevant expense captions") because they include one or more of the five natural expense categories. Such disclosures must be made on an annual and interim basis in a tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into applicable natural expense categories including (1) employee compensation (2) depreciation and (3) intangible asset amortization.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods, effective within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.
