Non-life and Life and Health Reserves Non-life and Life and Health Reserves
(a) Non-life reserves
Non-life reserves are categorized into three types of reserves: case reserves, ACRs and IBNR reserves. Case reserves represent unpaid losses reported by the Company’s cedants and recorded by the Company. ACRs are established for particular circumstances where, on the basis of individual loss reports, the Company estimates that the particular loss or collection of losses covered by a treaty may be greater than those advised by the cedant. IBNR reserves represent a provision for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported to the Company, as well as future loss development on losses already reported, in excess of the case reserves and ACRs. See also Note 2(b). The Company’s gross liability for non-life reserves at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Prior Years' Reserve Development
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported net favorable loss development for prior accident years resulting from favorable loss emergence in both the P&C and Specialty segments and a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expenses. The favorable loss emergence within the P&C segment was across multiple accident years, mainly driven by the motor, catastrophe, and casualty business. The favorable loss emergence within the Specialty segment was across multiple accident years, predominantly from the financial risks, engineering, marine, and property business, which was partially offset by adverse loss emergence in the aviation business.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported net favorable loss development for prior accident years resulting from favorable loss emergence in both the P&C and Specialty segments. The favorable loss emergence within the Specialty segment was across multiple accident years, predominantly from financial risks lines. The favorable loss emergence within the P&C segment was primarily from a refinement of loss estimates for certain large catastrophic events from accident years 2017 - 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported net unfavorable loss development for prior accident years resulting from adverse loss emergence in the Specialty segment, which was partially offset by favorable loss emergence in the P&C segment. The adverse loss emergence within the Specialty segment was across multiple accident years, predominantly from property, engineering, multiline and aviation business. The favorable loss emergence within the P&C segment was primarily from accident years 2015 and prior, mainly driven by the European casualty, motor and property business, which was partially offset by adverse loss emergence in the U.S. and Asia property business.
Retroactive Reinsurance Recoverable
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement related to prior underwriting years on the Company's U.S. casualty and auto business within the P&C segment. Premium paid for the loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement, resulted in a cash transfer for the premium at inception of the agreement, and a reinsurance recoverable of $394 million at December 31, 2022 and $358 million at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, as a result of adverse prior years reserve development ceded under this agreement, a deferred gain of $47 million and $20 million, respectively, was recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expense and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This transaction is presented retrospectively in the net loss and loss expenses incurred development table for the Casualty business in Section (c) below. Reinsurance recoveries under this transaction are attributed to calendar year and accident year based on the underlying distribution of losses subject to the agreement.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer agreement transferring 100% of liabilities, including profit commissions, related to its wholesale managing general agent portfolio. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a reinsurance recoverable of $81 million and a related deferred gain of $14 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company completed a business transfer to extinguish the remaining $70 million of non-life reserves and derecognized the $70 million of related reinsurance recoverables. As a result, during 2020, the $14 million deferred gain was recognized within Losses and loss expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At settlement, $64 million of invested assets were transferred, and there was a corresponding decrease in Other reinsurance balances payable.
Asbestos and Environmental Claims
The Company’s net non-life reserves at December 31, 2022 and 2021 included $42 million and $44 million, respectively, related to asbestos and environmental claims. The gross liability for such claims at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $49 million and $52 million, respectively.
Ultimate loss estimates for such claims cannot be estimated using traditional reserving techniques and there are significant uncertainties in estimating the Company’s potential losses for these claims. In view of the legal and tort environment that affect the development of such claims, the uncertainties inherent in estimating asbestos and environmental claims are not likely to be resolved in the near future. There can be no assurance that the reserves established by the Company will not be adversely affected by development of other latent exposures, and further, there can be no assurance that the reserves established by the Company will be adequate. The Company does, however, actively evaluate potential exposure to asbestos and environmental claims and establishes additional reserves as appropriate. The Company believes that it has made a reasonable provision for these exposures and is unaware of any specific issues that would materially affect its unpaid losses and loss expense reserves related to this exposure.
Non-life reserving methods
The reserving methods commonly employed by the Company are summarized as follows:
Chain Ladder (CL) Development Methods (Reported or Paid)
These methods use the underlying assumption that losses reported (paid) for each underwriting year at a particular development stage follow a stable pattern. The CL development method assumes that on average, every underwriting year will display the same percentage of ultimate liabilities reported by the Company’s cedants at 24 months after the inception of the underwriting year. The percentages reported (paid) are established for each development stage after examining historical averages from the loss development data. These are sometimes supplemented by external benchmark information. Ultimate liabilities are estimated by multiplying the actual reported (paid) losses by the reciprocal of the assumed reported (paid) percentage. Reserves are then calculated by subtracting paid claims from the estimated ultimate liabilities.
Expected Loss Ratio (ELR) Method
This method estimates ultimate losses for an underwriting year by applying an estimated loss ratio to the earned premium for that underwriting year. Although the method is insensitive to actual reported or paid losses, it can often be useful at the early stages of development when very few losses have been reported or paid, and the principal sources of information available to the Company consist of information obtained during pricing and qualitative information supplied by the cedant. However, the lack of sensitivity to reported or paid losses means that the method is usually inappropriate at later stages of development.
Bornhuetter-Ferguson (B-F) Methods (Reported or Paid)
These methods aim to address the variability at early stages of development and incorporates external information such as pricing. The B-F methods are more sensitive to reported and paid losses than the ELR method, and can be seen as a blend of the ELR and CL development methods. Unreported (unpaid) claims are calculated using an expected reporting (payment) pattern and an
externally determined estimate of ultimate liabilities (usually determined by multiplying an a priori loss ratio with estimates of premium volume). The accuracy of the a priori loss ratio is a critical assumption in this method. Usually a priori loss ratios are initially determined on the basis of pricing information, but may also be adjusted to reflect other information that subsequently emerges about underlying loss experience.
Loss Event Specific Method
The ultimate losses estimated under this method are derived from estimates of specific events based on reported claims, client and broker discussions, review of potential exposures, market loss estimates, modeled analysis and other event specific criteria.
Method Weights
In determining the loss reserves, the Company often relies on a blend of the results from two or more methods (e.g., weighted averages). The judgment as to which of the above method(s) is most appropriate for a particular underwriting year and reserving cell could change over time as new information emerges regarding underlying loss activity and other data issues. Furthermore, as each line is typically composed of several reserving cells, it is likely that the reserves for the line will be dependent on several reserving methods. This is because reserves for a line are the result of aggregating the reserves for each constituent reserving cell and that a different method could be selected for each reserving cell.
The principal reserving methods used for each of the Specialty segment and P&C segment were ELR, Reported/Paid B-F, and Reported/Paid CL, with the exception of catastrophe risks within the P&C segment where the principal reserving methods used were ELR based on exposure analysis and loss event specific methods.
(b) Life and Health Reserves
The reconciliation of the beginning and ending gross and net liability for life and health reserves for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Gross liability at end of period$2,510,293 $2,638,086 $2,704,229 
(1)During 2021 and 2020, certain life and health treaties were recaptured, resulting in total gains upon recapture of $15 million and $28 million respectively, recorded as a reduction to net incurred losses.
Net incurred losses includes unfavorable prior years' reserve development of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, favorable prior years' reserve development of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and unfavorable prior years' reserve development of $52 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was driven by the Company's disability business.
The Company used interest rate assumptions to estimate its liabilities for policy benefits for life and annuity contracts which ranged from 0% to 11% at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Life and health reserving methods
The reserving methods commonly employed by the Company are summarized as follows:
Mortality
The reserves for the short-term mortality/morbidity business consist of case reserves calculated at the treaty level based upon cedant information. IBNR is calculated at the reserving segment level using either the ELR method or CL development method described above for Non-life business.
The reserves for the traditional and limited payment long-duration contracts are established based upon accepted actuarial valuation methods which require us to make certain assumptions regarding future claims and policy benefits and includes a provision for adverse deviation. The provision for adverse deviation contemplates reasonable deviations from the best estimate assumptions for the key risk elements relevant to the product being evaluated, including mortality, disability, critical illness, expenses, and discount rates. The assumptions are locked in at contract inception and are subject to annual loss recognition testing (LRT). LRT occurs at the product group level, based on the manner of acquiring, servicing and measuring profitability of the reinsurance contracts. The LRT framework incorporates deferred acquisition cost (DAC) recoverability testing and involves determining an LRT reserve by re-measuring the policy benefit liabilities using current best estimate actuarial assumptions and current discount rates without any provisions for adverse deviation. If the aggregate LRT reserve is higher than the carrying amount of future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC and VOBA, for a particular product grouping then a loss recognition event occurs. The DAC and VOBA asset balances for the given product grouping are first reduced, and if the balances are fully written off, the reserves will be increased, such that the current best estimate assumptions become the new locked-in basis.
The reserves for the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) reinsurance business are established similar to provisions for universal life contracts. Key actuarial assumptions for this business are mortality, lapses, interest rates, expected returns on cash and bonds and stock market performance. For the latter parameter, a stochastic option pricing approach is used and the benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility are consistent with expected future experience of the respective underlying funds available for policyholder investment options. Recorded reserves for GMDB reflect management’s best estimate based upon actuarial indications.
Longevity
Reserves for the annuity portfolio of reinsurance contracts within the longevity book are established using the reserving methodology discussed above for long-term traditional mortality.

The Company is predominantly a reinsurer of primary insurers and does not have access to claim frequency information held by our cedants due to the majority of the Company’s business being written on a proportional basis. As such, the Company considers it impracticable to disclose information on the frequency of claims.
The reconciliation of the net incurred and paid claims development information above to the Non-life reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 was as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):
