Scott Egan, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We have continued to execute on our ambition to deliver consistent and stable earnings that create long-term shareholder value. We had another strong quarter, our seventh consecutive quarter of positive underwriting income. We report a Combined ratio for the Core operations of 92.5% for the half year, or 92.8% excluding the loss portfolio transfer, which is a 1.0 point improvement over the prior year period on a like-for-like basis. We are growing our continuing lines premium in our target areas of North America programs, International and Specialty. Q2 was strong in this regard with growth in gross premiums of 22% for continuing lines business. We have increased our full year 2024 net investment income guidance to $275 million to $285 million up from $250 million to $265 million. Net service fee income from our Consolidated MGAs increased by 6.5% with an improved service margin of 23.9% for the half year. Net income increased to over $200 million for the half year.

We continue to rationalize our MGA equity stakes and realize the significant off-balance sheet value of our Consolidated MGAs. Our total equity stakes in MGAs is down to 22 compared to 36 at the start of 2023. We have also added 11 new distribution partnerships since the start of 2024 providing further evidence of our intent to grow through distribution partnerships in our targeted areas.

We remain focused on improving our performance, delivering an underlying ROE adjusted for MGA actions of 13.0% within our 12-15% guidance range and growing book value over the medium term. We will continue to drive improvement in 2024 and beyond as we move closer towards our best-in-class ambitions.

Bolstered by another quarter of strong underwriting results and the completion of our previously announced debt actions, our balance sheet is the strongest it has ever been. Q2'24 BSCR estimate is 284%. This enabled us to reach an agreement for the cash settlement of the Series A Preference shares, purchase and retire $125 million in common stock from CMIG and announce a share buyback authorization increase to $306 million. These actions attest to our belief in the compelling value of our shares and capital position, which is enhanced by strong performance and relentless execution.”

Key Financial Metrics

The following table shows certain key financial metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Second Quarter 2024 Summary

Consolidated underwriting income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $65.1 million compared to $108.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development. Favorable prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included $16.6 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income decreased by $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is consistent with our change in business mix, decreasing exposure to more volatile lines of business and growing A&H and International Insurance within the Insurance & Services segment.

Consolidated underwriting income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $154.7 million compared to $265.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development. Favorable prior year loss reserve development for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $118.2 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, underwriting income increased by $4.6 million primarily driven by lower other underwriting expenses resulting from our cost savings program, partially offset by higher acquisition costs driven by business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services.

Reportable Segments

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations, which consist of two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services.

Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute our “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliations in “Segment Reporting”. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Core Premium Volume

Three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Gross premiums written increased by $37.5 million, or 4.7%, to $842.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $805.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net premiums earned decreased by $42.8 million, or 7.2%, to $553.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $596.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in premiums written were primarily driven by increases from Insurance & Services from strategic organic and new program growth, as well as increases across A&H. These increases were partially offset by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a cyber program to another carrier, which also was the main driver of the decrease in premiums earned.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Gross premiums written decreased by $142.0 million, or 7.6%, to $1,723.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,865.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net premiums earned decreased by $75.7 million, or 6.6%, to $1,071.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,146.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decreases in premium volume were primarily due to the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, with the most significant offset being strategic organic and new program growth.

Core Results

Three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income decreased by $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was driven by higher acquisition costs driven by business mix changes to decrease our exposure to more volatile lines of business, as well as $5.6 million catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no significant catastrophe losses the three months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by lower attritional losses.

The decrease in net underwriting results was primarily driven by decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development.

Losses incurred included $12.9 million of favorable loss reserve development for the six months ended June 30, 2024 driven by decreased ultimate losses in the Credit Reinsurance portfolio and North America A&H, partially offset by increases in the Environmental business, compared to $117.1 million of favorable loss reserve development for the six months ended June 30, 2023 driven by decreases in the domestic and international property and casualty lines of business in the Reinsurance segment and A&H in the Insurance & Services segment linked to the 2023 LPT.

Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income increased by $7.7 million primarily driven by lower other underwriting expenses resulting from our cost savings program and lower attritional losses, partially offset by higher acquisition costs from business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services.

Insurance & Services gross premiums written decreased by $97.0 million, or 8.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, representing $233.8 million of gross premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as well as lower A&H premiums, partially offset by strategic organic and new program growth.

Corporate results include all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write. The decrease in underwriting income is primarily driven by a decrease in favorable prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was associated with the 2023 LPT.

Investments

Three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $70.1 million, partially offset by unrealized losses on other long-term investments of $40.6 million. Increased investment income is primarily due to increased interest rates and our rotation of the portfolio from cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government and government agency positions to high-grade corporate debt and other securitized assets, in an effort to better diversify our portfolio. Losses on private other long-term investments were the result of updated fair value analyses consistent with current insurtech market trends and disposals of positions as the Company executes its strategy to focus on underwriting relationships with MGAs.

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to investment results from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $64.9 million driven by dividend and interest income primarily on U.S. treasury bill and corporate debt positions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics

In presenting SiriusPoint’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). SiriusPoint’s management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of SiriusPoint’s financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects the Company’s decision to exit the runoff business. Tangible book value per diluted common share is also a non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Tangible book value per diluted common share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as applicable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, and services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net investment gains (losses) from Strategic investments which are net investment gains (losses) from our investment holdings, are no longer included in Core net services income, with comparative financial periods restated. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.
