Explanatory Notes
Basis of Presentation
    All financial information contained herein is unaudited, however, certain information contained herein relating to the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 is derived from or agrees to audited financial information.
 
    Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts are in thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts and ratio information.
 
    Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications include the inclusion of share based compensation expense in general and administrative expenses and the corresponding expense ratios, and the combination of fees relating to our credit facility (previously included in general and administrative expenses) with interest expense to comprise finance fees. In addition, Aerospace, Life and A&H, Terrorism, Workers’ Compensation lines of business have been combined into one reporting line, ‘Specialty’.
 
    A reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Validus Holdings, Ltd., was approved by a vote by the shareholders, effective immediately following resolution at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on March 1, 2007, whereby each 1.75 outstanding shares was consolidated into 1 share, and the par value of the Company’s shares was increased to US $0.175 per share. This share consolidation has been reflected retroactively in this financial supplement.
 
    On July 30, 2007, Validus completed its initial public offering. The net proceeds to the Company from this Offering were approximately $319,935, after deducting the underwriters’ discount and fees and expenses of the Offering.
 
    The Company entered into an advisory agreement on December 7, 2005 with Aquiline for the provision of advisory and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Company. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays an annual advisory fee of $1,000 payable in advance for a period of five years from the date of initial funding until the termination date. As outlined in the agreement, the Advisory Agreement was terminated with the first public offering and the Company paid in full to Aquiline the remaining unpaid advisory fees of $3,000.
 
    “NA” = Not applicable
 
    “NM” = Not meaningful
 
    On July 2, 2007, Validus announced it completed its acquisition of Talbot Holdings Ltd. (“Talbot”). Operating results of Talbot have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of July 2, 2007. The Validus data for 2006 and first six months of 2007 refer only to the company prior to its acquisition of Talbot.
Financial Measures
In presenting our results, we include certain financial measures which are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. We believe that these measures are important to investors and other interested parties, and that such persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison with other companies within the industry. However, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies either inside or outside of the insurance industry.
    Diluted book value per share is calculated based on total shareholders’ equity plus the assumed proceeds from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, divided by the sum of shares, options, warrants and share equivalents outstanding (assuming their exercise).
 
    Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances and non-recurring items. Net operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure as it focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. In the third quarter of 2007, Validus incurred a $3,000 non-recurring expense to terminate an advisory agreement with its founding investor in conjunction with its IPO. In the third quarter of 2007, Validus further incurred a $2,893 non-recurring expense arising from the issuance of additional warrants pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants triggered by the Talbot acquisition. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.
 
    Underwriting income (loss) is a measure of profitability that takes into account net premiums earned and other insurance related income as revenue and net loss and loss expenses, acquisition costs and underwriting related general and administrative expenses as expenses. Underwriting income (loss) is the difference between revenues and expense items.
 
    Annualized effective investment yield is calculated by dividing the investment income generated from invested assets and other investments by the average balance of the assets managed by our portfolio managers and our other investments.

Notes:
(a)   Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances and excluding the fair value of warrants issued and the termination fee paid to Aquiline under the Advisory Agreement. This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.
 
(b)   Diluted book value per share is calculated based on total shareholders’ equity plus the assumed proceeds from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, divided by the sum of shares, options, warrants and share equivalents outstanding (assuming their exercise).
 
(c)   Annualized return on average equity is calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the average shareholders’ equity during the period. Average shareholders’ equity is the average of the beginning, ending and intervening quarter end shareholders’ equity balances.
 
(d)   Annualized operating return on average equity is calculated by dividing the operating income for the period by the average shareholders’ equity during the period. Average shareholders’ equity is the average of the beginning, ending and intervening quarter end shareholders’ equity balances.

Notes:
 
(a)   Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balance the fair value of warrants issued and excluding the Aquiline termination fee. This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.

Notes:
 
(a)   Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances, the fair value of warrants issued and excluding the Aquiline termination fee. This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.

This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.
 
(b)   Specialty includes aviation, workers’ compensation, terrorism, life and A&H, and financial lines of business.

Notes:
 
(a)   Operating results of Talbot have been included from July 2, 2007, the date of acquisition.
 
(b)   Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances, the fair value of warrants issued and excluding the Aquiline termination fee. This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-US$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.
 
(c)   Specialty class includes war, political violence and political risks, financial institutions, treaty and other classes.
