The following section provides analysis on the Company’s 2024 first quarter performance by operating segment. For additional details regarding the Company’s operating segments, please refer to the Company’s Financial Supplement dated March 31, 2024. The Company’s segment information includes the use of underwriting income (loss) and a combined ratio excluding catastrophic activity and prior year development (see ‘Comments on Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures’ for further details).

Gross premiums written by the insurance segment in the 2024 first quarter were 7.4% higher than in the 2023 first quarter, while net premiums written were 7.3% higher than in the 2023 first quarter. Growth in net premiums written reflected increases in most lines of business, due in part to new business opportunities, increases in existing accounts and rate changes. Net premiums earned in the 2024 first quarter were 15.4% higher than in the 2023 first quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters.

The 2024 first quarter loss ratio reflected 2.1 points of activity related to the Baltimore bridge collapse along with 1.9 points of current year catastrophic activity, spread across a series of global events, compared to 1.4 points of catastrophic activity in the 2023 first quarter. Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 0.7 points in the 2024 first quarter, compared to 0.9 points in the 2023 first quarter. The balance of the change in the loss ratio resulted, in part, from the impact of rate increases and changes in the mix of business.

The underwriting expense ratio was 35.2% in the 2024 first quarter, compared to 35.0% in the 2023 first quarter.

Gross premiums written by the reinsurance segment in the 2024 first quarter were 40.9% higher than in the 2023 first quarter, while net premiums written were 31.3% higher than in the 2023 first quarter. The growth in net premiums written reflected increases in all lines of business, due in part to rate increases, new business opportunities and growth in existing accounts. Net premiums earned in the 2024 first quarter were 25.3% higher than in the 2023 first quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters.

The 2024 first quarter loss ratio reflected 3.0 points of activity related to the Baltimore bridge collapse and 1.9 points of current year catastrophic activity, spread across a series of global events, compared to 5.4 points of catastrophic activity in the 2023 first quarter. Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 2.4 points in the 2024 first quarter, compared to 4.0 points in the 2023 first quarter. The balance of the change in the loss ratio resulted, in part, from the impact of rate increases and changes in the mix of business.

The underwriting expense ratio was 24.4% in the 2024 first quarter, compared to 26.7% in the 2023 first quarter, with the decrease reflecting higher contingent commissions on ceded business in the 2024 first quarter and growth in net premiums earned.

Gross premiums written by the mortgage segment in the 2024 first quarter were 0.6% lower than in the 2023 first quarter, while net premiums written were 6.1% higher. The increase in net premiums written and earned in the 2024 first quarter primarily reflected a lower level of Bellemeade premiums ceded, due in part to the termination of eight Bellemeade agreements in the 2023 fourth quarter.

Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, decreased the loss ratio by 24.4 points, compared to 23.9 points in the 2023 first quarter. Such amounts were primarily related to better than expected cure rates. The 2024 first quarter loss ratio, excluding net favorable development, was down compared to the 2023 first quarter, reflecting lower estimated claim rates partially offset by slightly higher new delinquencies.

The underwriting expense ratio was 17.5% in the 2024 first quarter, compared to 19.4% in the 2023 first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher level of ceding and profit commissions on U.S. primary business.

The corporate segment results include net investment income, net realized gains or losses (which includes realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of equity securities and assets accounted for using the fair value option, realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, other income (loss), corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, net foreign exchange gains or losses, income tax items, income or loss from operating affiliates and items related to the Company’s non-cumulative preferred shares.

Investment returns were as follows:

(1)    Presented on an annualized basis and excluding the impact of investments for which returns are not included within investment income, such as investments accounted for using the equity method and certain equities.

(2)    See ‘Comments on Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures’ for further details.

The growth in net investment income in the 2024 first quarter primarily reflected the effects of higher interest rates available in the market, along with growth in invested assets due in part to strong operating cash flows. Net realized gains were $67 million for the 2024 first quarter, compared to net realized gains of $17 million in the 2023 first quarter, and reflected sales of investments as well as the impact of financial market movements on the Company’s derivatives, equity securities and investments accounted for under the fair value option method. Total return in the 2024 first quarter reflected unrealized losses on the Company’s fixed income securities, driven by higher interest rates.

On a pre-tax basis, net foreign exchange gains for the 2024 first quarter were $31 million, compared to net foreign exchange losses of $18 million for the 2023 first quarter. For both periods, such amounts were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing the Company’s net insurance liabilities required to be settled in foreign currencies at each balance sheet date. Changes in the value of available-for-sale investments held in foreign currencies due to foreign currency rate movements are reflected as a direct increase or decrease to shareholders’ equity and are not included in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes (based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate) was 8.3% for the 2024 first quarter, compared to 8.2% for the 2023 first quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate on pre-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders was 8.5% for the 2024 first quarter, compared to 9.2% for the 2023 first quarter. The effective tax rate may fluctuate from period to period based upon the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction, the level of catastrophic loss activity incurred, and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction.

Income from operating affiliates for the 2024 first quarter was $55 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $39 million, or $0.10 per share, for the 2023 first quarter, and primarily reflects amounts related to the Company’s investment in Somers Group Holdings Ltd. and Coface SA.

The Company will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 30, 2024. A live webcast of this call will be available via the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://www.archgroup.com/investors. A recording of the webcast will be available in the Investors section of the Company’s website approximately two hours after the event concludes and will be archived on the site for one year.

Please refer to the Company’s Financial Supplement dated March 31, 2024, which is available via the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://www.archgroup.com/investors. The Financial Supplement provides additional detail regarding the financial performance of the Company. From time to time, the Company posts additional financial information and presentations to its website, including information with respect to its subsidiaries. Investors and other recipients of this information are encouraged to check the Company’s website regularly for additional information regarding the Company.

Arch Capital Group Ltd., is a publicly listed Bermuda exempted company with approximately $22.1 billion in capital at March 31, 2024. Arch, which is part of the S&P 500 index, provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Throughout this release, the Company presents its operations in the way it believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use the Company’s financial information in evaluating the performance of the Company and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.

This presentation includes the use of “after-tax operating income or loss available to Arch common shareholders,” which is defined as net income available to Arch common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses (which includes changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other, net of income taxes (which for the 2023 fourth quarter reflects the establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax), and the use of annualized operating return on average common equity. The presentation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized operating return on average common equity are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to net income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized net income return on average common equity (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures) in accordance with Regulation G is included on page 2 of this release.

The Company believes that net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses and transaction costs and other, in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance. Although net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses are an integral part of the Company’s operations, the decision to realize these items are independent of the insurance underwriting process and result, in large part, from general economic and financial market conditions. Furthermore, certain users of the Company’s financial information believe that, for many companies, the timing of the realization of investment gains or losses is largely opportunistic. In addition, changes in the allowance for credit losses and net impairment losses recognized in earnings on the Company’s investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization.

Transaction costs and other include advisory, financing, legal, severance, incentive compensation and other costs related to acquisitions. The Company believes that transaction costs and other, due to their non-recurring nature, are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance.

The Company’s segment information includes the presentation of consolidated underwriting income or loss and a subtotal of underwriting income or loss. Such measures represent the pre-tax profitability of its underwriting operations and include net premiums earned plus other underwriting income, less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition expenses and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include those operating expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to the Company’s individual underwriting operations. Underwriting income or loss does not incorporate items included in the Company’s corporate segment. While these measures are presented in the Segment Information footnote to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis. The reconciliations of underwriting income or loss to income before income taxes (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a consolidated basis, in accordance with Regulation G, is shown on the following pages.

Management measures segment performance for its three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. The Company does not manage its assets by underwriting segment and, accordingly, investment income, income from operating affiliates and other corporate segment related items are not allocated to each underwriting segment.

Total return on investments includes investment income, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net realized gains and losses (excluding changes in the allowance for credit losses on non-investment related financial assets) and the change in unrealized gains and losses generated by Arch’s investment portfolio. Total return is calculated on a pre-tax basis and before investment expenses and reflects the effect of financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. Management uses total return on investments as a key measure of the return generated to Arch common shareholders, and compares the return generated by the Company’s investment portfolio against benchmark returns during the periods presented.

The following tables summarize the Company’s results by segment for the 2024 first quarter and 2023 first quarter and a reconciliation of underwriting income or loss to income or loss before income taxes and net income or loss available to Arch common shareholders:

(1)    Certain assumed and ceded amounts related to intersegment transactions are included in individual segment results. Accordingly, the sum of such transactions for each segment does not agree to the total due to eliminations.

(2)    Certain expenses have been excluded from ‘corporate expenses’ and reflected in ‘Transaction costs and other.’ See ‘Comments on Regulation G- Non-GAAP Financial Measures’ for a further discussion of such items.
