Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd.

Basis of Presentation

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

 

Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Bermuda exempted company whose principal businesses are conducted through its wholly- and majority-owned insurance subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “Sirius Group”, “we,” “our” and “us”). Sirius Group provides insurance, reinsurance and insurance services on a worldwide basis.

 

We have made rounding adjustments to reach some of the figures included in this financial supplement and, unless otherwise indicated, percentages presented in this financial supplement are approximate.

 

In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP financial measures.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, better explain and enhance the understanding of the Company’s results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This financial supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about Sirius Group’s exposure to catastrophe losses and catastrophe modeling. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of forward-looking statements such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “target,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,”  “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of the Company and speak only as of the date of this document. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·  Sirius Group’s exposure to unpredictable catastrophic and casualty events and unexpected accumulations of attritional losses;

·  increased competition from existing insurers and reinsurers and from alternative capital providers, such as insurance-linked funds and collateralized special purpose insurers;

·  decreased demand for Sirius Group’s insurance or reinsurance products, consolidation and cyclical changes in the insurance and reinsurance industry;

·  the inherent uncertainty of estimating loss and loss adjustment expenses reserves, including asbestos and environmental reserves, and the possibility that such reserves may be inadequate to cover Sirius Group’s ultimate liability for losses;

·  a decline in the Company’s operating subsidiaries’ ratings with rating agencies;

·  the risk that Sirius Group’s reinsurance underwriting is dependent upon the underlying ceding companies’ evaluation of risk;

·  the risk that managing general underwriters and other agents acting on Sirius Group’s behalf may act based on inaccurate or incomplete information regarding the accounts Sirius Group underwrites, or such agents may exceed their authority or commit fraud when binding policies on Sirius Group’s behalf;

·  the inherent uncertainty of modeling, pricing for, and managing insurance and reinsurance risk, including with respect to catastrophe and attritional losses that may be different than actual losses;

·  the risk that Sirius Group may not adequately assess and price for the increased frequency and severity of catastrophes resulting from global climate change;

·  the exposure of Sirius Group’s investments to interest rate, credit, equity risks and market volatility, which may limit Sirius Group’s net income and may affect the adequacy of its capital;

·  the effects of volatility in the global economy and capital markets, which may impair Sirius Group’s investment portfolio and affect the primary insurance market;

·  the impact of various risks associated with transacting business in foreign countries, including foreign currency exchange-rate risk and political risks on investments in, and revenues from, Sirius Group’s operations outside the U.S.;

·  unexpected volatility or illiquidity associated with Sirius Group’s investments;

 

1


 

·  Sirius Group’s ability to obtain reinsurance and retrocessional protection at reasonable prices or on terms that adequately protect it;

·  the potential volatility in its quarterly results;

·  the potential effects on Sirius Group’s business of emerging claim and coverage issues;

·  Sirius Group’s dependence on a small number of brokers and managing general underwriters for a large portion of its revenues;

·  Sirius Group’s exposure to the credit risk of reinsurance counterparties and intermediaries;

·  risks relating to the inability of Sirius Group’s operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;

·  the possibility that Sirius Group may become subject to additional onerous governmental or regulatory requirements or fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements;

·  uncertainties relating to the Eurozone, including the effects of the United Kingdom’s referendum to leave the European Union, and U.S. health care legislation;

·  operational risks, including system or human failures or cyber-attacks, which could result in Sirius Group incurring material losses;

·  risks associated with potential for loss of services of any one of Sirius Group’s key personnel, and the risk that Sirius Group fails to attract or retain the executives and employees necessary to manage its business;

·  unforeseen liabilities or asset impairments arising from possible acquisitions and dispositions of businesses or difficulties integrating acquired businesses;

·  risks that Sirius Group may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms;

·  risks that Sirius Group’s significant deferred tax assets may become materially impaired as a result of insufficient taxable income or a reduction in applicable corporate tax rates or other change in applicable tax law;

·  risks relating to changes in regulatory regimes and/or accounting rules, which could result in significant changes to Sirius Group’s financial results;

·  the seasonality of Sirius Group’s insurance and reinsurance business;

·  risks relating to Sirius Group’s indebtedness;

·  the risk that the Company will fail to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards;

·  the limited liquidity and trading of the Company’s securities;

·  risks related to the Company’s status as a foreign private issuer and controlled company; and

·  risks identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions made by the management of the Company prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, Sirius Group undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, or new information, data or methods, future events or other circumstances after the date of this financial supplement.

(1) Underwriting (loss) income is calculated as net earned insurance and reinsurance premiums less loss and loss adjustment expenses, insurance and reinsurance acquisition expenses, and other underwriting expenses.

(2) The combined ratio is calculated by combining the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio, and the other underwriting expense ratio.

(3) Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. There is no comparable GAAP measure. See the accompanying Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures for an explanation and calculation of Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders.  

(4) Return on equity is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Sirius Group’s common shareholders for the period by the beginning common shareholders’ equity.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Sum of Total common shareholders’ equity and Series B preference shares (Adjusted book value) and Adjusted book value per common and preference shares outstanding, including Series B preference shares (Adjusted book value per share)

 

In connection with the closing of the Easterly Acquisition Corp. Merger (the “Merger”), the Company completed the private placement of Series B preference shares and common shares (the “Private Placement”).  The price per share of $17.22447 for the common shares and Series B preference shares issued in the Private Placement was the same.  Sirius Group believes that the Merger and the Private Placement were parts of an overall integrated capitalization strategy for the Company, which should be assessed on a combined basis, not as separate transactions.

 

Adjusted book value and Adjusted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures used to show the Company’s total worth on a per-share basis and is useful to management and investors in analyzing the intrinsic value of the Company.

 

Total shares outstanding is derived by summing common shares and Series B preference shares outstanding.  Adjusted book value is derived by summing common shareholders’ equity and the Series B preference share amount reflected in mezzanine equity.  Outstanding warrants are excluded as they are anti-dilutive.  Adjusted book value per share is derived by dividing the Adjusted book value by the total shares outstanding. The reconciliation to Total common shareholders’ equity and book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are presented in the table below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders

 

The Company uses Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders as used herein differs from net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, net foreign exchange gains (losses) and the associated income tax expense or benefit. The Company’s management believes that Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders is useful to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the Company’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from fluctuations in the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio, equity investments trading, investments-related derivatives, and net foreign exchange gains (losses) and the associated income tax expense or benefit of those fluctuations.  The following is a reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders to Operating (loss) income attributable to common shareholders:
