Discontinued Operations

AutoOne

On February 22, 2012, OneBeacon completed the sale of the AutoOne business to Interboro. AutoOne operated as a division within OneBeacon that offered products and services to automobile assigned risk markets. The transaction included the sale of two insurance entities, AOIC and AOSIC, through which substantially all of the AutoOne business was written on a direct basis. The results of operations for the AutoOne business have been classified as discontinued operations and are presented, net of related income taxes, in the statement of comprehensive income.

Runoff Transaction

On October 17, 2012, OneBeacon entered into an agreement to sell its runoff business to Armour. During three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the results of operations for the runoff business have been classified as discontinued operations and are presented, net of related income taxes, in the statement of comprehensive income. Prior year results of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The assets and liabilities associated with the runoff business as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale. The amounts classified as discontinued operations exclude investing and financing activities that are conducted on an overall consolidated level and, accordingly, there were no separately identifiable investments associated with the runoff business.

Results of Discontinued Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the results of discontinued operations included other revenue that was primarily associated with a settlement award in the Safeco v. American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) class action related to AIG's alleged underreporting of workers' compensation premiums to the National Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Pool. In light of the ongoing regulatory review of the Runoff Transaction, which includes a third party actuarial review, OneBeacon increased loss reserves by approximately the same amount of the benefit resulting from the class action settlement award.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the results of discontinued operations included $0.1 million and $12.5 million of unfavorable loss reserve development in the runoff business. The unfavorable development in 2012 was primarily driven by case incurred development on a small number of claims related to multiple peril liability lines and general liability lines and also the impact of an adverse court ruling in Mississippi regarding a disputed assessment from an involuntary pool for hurricane Katrina claims.

Reinsurance

Included in the assets held for sale are reinsurance recoverables from two reinsurance contracts with subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. that OneBeacon was required to purchase in connection with White Mountains' acquisition of OneBeacon in 2001 (the “OneBeacon Acquisition”): a reinsurance contract with National Indemnity Company (“NICO”) for up to $2.5 billion in old asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) claims and certain other exposures (the “NICO Cover”) and an adverse loss reserve development cover from General Reinsurance Corporation (“GRC”) for up to $570.0 million, comprised of $400.0 million of adverse loss reserve development occurring in years 2000 and prior (the “GRC Cover”) in addition to $170.0 million of reserves ceded as of the date of the OneBeacon Acquisition. The NICO Cover and GRC Cover, which were contingent on and occurred contemporaneously with the OneBeacon Acquisition, were put in place in lieu of a seller guarantee of loss and LAE reserves and are therefore accounted for under GAAP as a seller guarantee. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses of $1,315.4 million and $1,401.9 million related to both the NICO cover and the GRC cover have been included in assets held for sale. Both NICO and GRC have an A.M Best rating of A++, Superior, which is the highest of sixteen ratings.

The total reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses in assets held for sale were $21.4 million and $1,879.8 million as of June 30, 2012. The reinsurance recoverable on unpaid amount is gross of $143.5 million in purchase accounting adjustments that will become recoverable if claims are paid in accordance with current reserve estimates.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including unvested restricted shares that are considered participating securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares including unvested restricted shares and the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

The following table outlines the computation of earnings (loss) per share for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share numerators (in millions):
Net income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’ common shareholders	$	3.9		$	.5		$	4.4		$	(8.8	)
Allocation of income for participating unvested restricted common shares⁽¹⁾	—			—			—			.1
Net income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’ common shareholders, net of restricted common share amounts⁽²⁾	$	3.9		$	.5		$	4.4		$	(8.7	)
Basic earnings (loss) per share denominators (in thousands):
Total average common shares outstanding during the period	6,176.2			6,638.7			6,224.5			7,033.0
Average unvested restricted common shares⁽³⁾	(95.4		)	(93.5		)	(87.2		)	(85.9		)

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in dollars):	$	.64		$	.07		$	.71		$	(1.25	)

⁽¹⁾Restricted shares issued by White Mountains contain dividend participation features, and therefore, are considered participating securities.

⁽²⁾Net earnings (loss) attributable to White Mountains’ common shareholders, net of restricted share amounts, is equal to undistributed earnings (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

⁽³⁾ Restricted common shares outstanding vest either in equal annual installments or upon a stated date (see Note 13).

⁽⁴⁾The diluted earnings (loss) per share denominator for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 do not include common shares issuable upon exercise of the Non-Qualified Options as they are anti-dilutive to the calculation.
