Estimates for Significant Catastrophe Events

At March 31, 2025, net reserves for losses and loss expenses included estimated amounts for numerous catastrophe events. The magnitude and complexity of losses arising from certain of these events inherently increase the level of uncertainty and, therefore, the level of management judgment involved in arriving at estimated net reserves for losses and loss expenses. These events include California Wildfires in 2025, Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene in 2024. As a result, actual losses for these events may ultimately differ materially from current estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of reinsurance, of $49 million (2024: $20 million).
Prior Year Reserve Development

The Company's net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development arises from changes to estimates of losses and loss expenses related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years. The following table presents net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development by segment:

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net favorable prior year reserve development of $14 million was recognized, the principal component of which was: 
$10 million of net favorable prior year reserve development on property business primarily due to better than expected loss emergence mainly related to the 2023 accident year.
2024
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net prior year reserve development of $nil was recognized, the principal components of which were: 
$8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development on property business primarily due to better than expected loss emergence mainly related to the 2021 and 2022 accident years.
$8 million of net adverse prior year reserve development on the specialty other reserve class primarily associated with an increase in the loss estimate attributable to a specific large claim in the marine and aviation line of business related to the 2019 accident year.
