to future events and financial performance. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,”
“will,” “may” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ

3) adequacy of Validus Holdings, Ltd.’s (“Validus” or the “Company”) risk management and loss limitation methods; 4) cyclicality of demand
and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets; 5) statutory or regulatory developments including tax policy, reinsurance and other
regulatory matters; 6) Validus’ ability to implement its business strategy during “soft” as well as “hard” markets; 7) adequacy of Validus’ loss
reserves; 8) continued availability of capital and financing; 9) retention of key personnel; 10) competition; 11) potential loss of business from
one or more major insurance or reinsurance brokers; 12) Validus’ ability to implement, successfully and on a timely basis, complex
infrastructure, distribution capabilities, systems, procedures and internal controls, and to develop accurate actuarial data to support the
business and regulatory and reporting requirements; 13) general economic and market conditions (including inflation, volatility in the credit
and capital markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates); 14) the integration of businesses Validus may acquire or new business
ventures Validus may start; 15) the effect on Validus’ investment portfolios of changing financial market conditions including inflation, interest
rates, liquidity and other factors; 16) acts of terrorism or outbreak of war; and 17) availability of reinsurance and retrocessional coverage, as
well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors.
The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary
statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the Risk Factors included in our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q
and other documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements made in this presentation are
qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be

Validus Invested Asset Strategy and Performance
• In 2014, Validus set out to increase portfolio yield without increasing tail risk. Validus’ Chief
Investment Officer worked with our risk and financial modeling teams to establish a new
portfolio allocation
• Noteworthy benefit in terms of higher yields on the portfolio during the past seven quarters.
The second half of 2015 confirmed our conservative risk profile as the portfolio, absent PaCRe,
generated minimal losses in very challenging investment markets

In presenting the Company’s results herein, management has included and discussed certain schedules containing underwriting income (loss), net operating income (loss)
available (attributable) to Validus, annualized return on average equity and diluted book value per common share that are not calculated under standards or rules that
comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures are referred to as non-GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe that these
measures are important to investors and other interested parties. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The AlphaCat segment information is presented as an asset manager view and therefore is considered non-GAAP.
Underwriting income indicates the performance of the Company's core underwriting segments, excluding revenues and expenses such as net investment income (loss),
finance expenses, net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments, foreign exchange gains (losses), other income (loss) and transaction expenses. The
Company believes the reporting of underwriting income enhances the understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of the Company's core
insurance and reinsurance business. Underwriting profitability is influenced significantly by earned premium growth, adequacy of the Company's pricing and loss frequency
and severity.
Net operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) excluding net realized and change in net unrealized gains (losses) on investments,
income (loss) from investment affiliate, foreign exchange gains (losses), other income (loss) and non-recurring items. This measure focuses on the underlying fundamentals
of our operations without the influence of gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-U.S.$ currencies and non-recurring items. 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-U.S.$
denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business. Net operating income (loss) available (attributable) to Validus common shareholders is defined as above,
but excludes operating income (loss) available (attributable) to noncontrolling interest and dividends on preference shares.
Diluted book value per share is calculated based on total shareholders’ equity available to Validus common shareholders plus the assumed proceeds from the exercise of
outstanding stock options, divided by the sum of unvested restricted shares, stock options and share equivalents outstanding (assuming their exercise).
Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure for net operating income and diluted book value per share can be found on pages 38 and 39, respectively.
Net loss estimates and zonal aggregates are before income tax, net of reinstatement premiums, and net of reinsurance and retrocessional recoveries. The estimates set
forth herein are based on an Occurrence basis on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These uncertainties and
contingencies can affect actual losses and could cause actual losses to differ materially from those expressed above. In particular, modeled loss estimates do not necessarily
accurately predict actual losses, and may significantly mis-estimate actual losses. Such estimates, therefore, should not be considered as a representation of actual losses.
Notes on Non-GAAP and Other Financial and Exposure Measures
41
The Company has developed the estimates of losses expected from certain catastrophes for its portfolio of property, marine, workers’ compensation, and personal accident
contracts using commercially available catastrophe models such as RMS, AIR and EQECAT, which are applied and adjusted by the Company. These estimates include
assumptions regarding the location, size and magnitude of an event, the frequency of events, the construction type and damageability of property in a zone, policy terms
and conditions and the cost of rebuilding property in a zone, among other assumptions. These assumptions will evolve following any actual event. Accordingly, if the
estimates and assumptions that are entered into the risk model are incorrect, or if the risk model proves to be an inaccurate forecasting tool, the losses the Company might
incur from an actual catastrophe could be materially higher than its expectation of losses generated from modeled catastrophe scenarios. In addition, many risks such as
second-event covers, aggregate excess of loss, or attritional loss components cannot be fully evaluated using the vendor models. Further, there can be no assurance that
such third party models are free of defects in the modeling logic or in the software code. Commencing in January 2012, the Company incorporated RMS version 11 as part
of its vendor models.
The Company has presented the Company Realistic Disaster Scenarios for non-natural catastrophe events. Twice yearly, Lloyds' syndicates, including the Company's Talbot
Syndicate 1183, are required to provide details of their potential exposures to specific disaster scenarios. Lloyds' makes its updated Realistic Disaster Scenarios (RDS)
guidance available to the market annually. The RDS scenario specification document for 2012 can be accessed at the RDS part of the Lloyd's public website:
http://www.lloyds.com/The-Market/Tools-and-Resources/Research/Exposure-Management/Realistic-Disaster-Scenarios
The Consolidated Net Premiums Earned used in the calculation represent the latest 12 months of net premiums earned up to June 30, 2016.
Modeling catastrophe threat scenarios is a complex exercise involving numerous variables and is inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These
uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual losses and could cause actual losses incurred by the Company to differ materially from those expressed above. Should an
event occur, the modeled outcomes may prove inadequate, possibly materially so. This may occur for a number of reasons including, legal requirements, model deficiency,
non-modeled risks or data inaccuracies.
A modeled outcome of net loss from a single event also relies in significant part on the reinsurance and retrocession arrangements in place, or expected to be in place at the
time of the analysis, and may change during the year. Modeled outcomes assume that the reinsurance and retrocession in place responds as expected with minimal
reinsurance failure or dispute. Reinsurance is purchased to match the original exposure as far as possible, but it is possible for there to be a mismatch or gap in cover which
could result in higher than modeled losses to the Company. In addition, many parts of the reinsurance program are purchased with limited reinstatements and, therefore,
the number of claims or events which may be recovered from second or subsequent events is limited. It should also be noted that renewal dates of the reinsurance program
do not necessarily coincide with those of the inwards business written. Where original business is not protected by risks attaching reinsurance or retrocession programs, the
programs could expire resulting in an increase in the possible net loss retained by the Company.
Investors should not rely on the information set forth in this presentation when considering an investment in the Company. The information contained in this presentation
has not been audited nor has it been subject to independent verification. The estimates set forth herein speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company
undertakes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect the occurrence of future events. The events presented reflect a specific set of prescribed
calculations and do not necessarily reflect all events that may impact the Company.
