Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This report or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of us may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, for purposes of the PSLRA or otherwise, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe” or “continue” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature or their negative or variations or similar terminology.

Forward-looking statements involve our current assessment of risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements are discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include:

•our ability to successfully implement our business strategy during “soft” as well as “hard” markets;

•our ability to consummate acquisitions and integrate the business we have acquired or may acquire into our existing operations;

•greater than expected loss ratios on business written by us and adverse development on claim and/or claim expense liabilities related to business written by our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage subsidiaries;

•the adequacy of the Company’s loss reserves;

•severity and/or frequency of losses;

•greater frequency or severity of unpredictable natural and man-made catastrophic events;

•claims for natural or man-made catastrophic events or severe economic events in our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage businesses could cause large losses and substantial volatility in our results of operations;

Table of Contents

•availability to us of reinsurance to manage our gross and net exposures and the cost of such reinsurance;

•a disruption caused by cyber attacks or other technology breaches or failures on us or our business partners and service providers, which could negatively impact our business and/or expose us to litigation;

ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

General

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (“Arch Capital”) is a publicly listed Bermuda exempted company which provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As used herein, the “Company” means Arch Capital and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. The results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or any future periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”), including the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted

For information regarding additional accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see note 3(t), “Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

2. Share Transactions

Share Repurchases

The Board of Directors of Arch Capital has authorized the investment in Arch Capital’s common shares through a share repurchase program. At September 30, 2023, $1.0 billion of share repurchases were available under the program. Repurchases under the program may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2024. The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions under this program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

Upon shareholder approval on May 4, 2023, the Amended and Restated Arch Capital Group Ltd. 2007 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective. The total common shares that may be purchased under the ESPP was increased by 3.0 million shares for a total of 12.75 million shares authorized. The purpose of the ESPP is to give employees of the Company an opportunity to purchase common shares through payroll deductions, thereby encouraging employees to share in the economic growth and success of the Company. The ESPP is designed to qualify as an “employee share purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At September 30, 2023, 3.7 million shares remain available for issuance.

4. Segment Information

The Company’s insurance, reinsurance and mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision makers. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the President and Chief Underwriting Officer are the Company’s chief operating decision makers. They do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. 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, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment.

The Company determined its reportable segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results.

The insurance segment consists of the Company’s insurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: construction and national accounts; excess and surplus casualty; professional lines; programs; property, energy, marine and aviation; travel, accident and health; warranty and lenders solutions; and other (consisting of alternative markets, excess workers' compensation and surety business).

The reinsurance segment consists of the Company’s reinsurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: casualty; marine and aviation; other specialty; property catastrophe; property excluding property catastrophe (losses on a single risk, both excess of loss and pro rata); and other (consisting of life reinsurance, casualty clash and other).

The mortgage segment includes the Company’s U.S. primary mortgage insurance business, investment and services related to U.S. credit-risk transfer (“CRT”) which are predominately with government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) and international mortgage insurance and reinsurance operations. Arch Mortgage Insurance Company and United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (combined “Arch MI U.S.”) are approved as eligible mortgage insurers by Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each a GSE. Arch MI U.S. also includes Arch Mortgage Guaranty Company, which is not a GSE-approved entity.

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 taxes items, income or loss from operating affiliates and items related to the Company’s non cumulative preferred shares.

Certain of the Company’s other investments are in investment funds for which the Company has the option to redeem at agreed upon values as described in each investment fund’s subscription agreement. Depending on the terms of the various subscription agreements, investments in investment funds may be redeemed daily, monthly, quarterly or on other terms. Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company’s ability to redeem these investment funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the investment fund’s net assets which may otherwise hinder the general partner or investment manager’s ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. If the investment funds are eligible to be redeemed, the time to redeem such fund can take weeks or months following the notification.

Limited Partnership Interests

In the normal course of its activities, the Company invests in limited partnerships as part of its overall investment strategy. Such amounts are included in ‘investments accounted for using the equity method’ and ‘investments accounted for using the fair value option.’ The Company has determined that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of the funds. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment.

The following table summarizes investments in limited partnership interests where the Company has a variable interest by balance sheet line item:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

the 2022 third quarter and income of $176 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $75 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022. In applying the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the market value of the underlying securities in the funds). Such investments are generally recorded on a one to three month lag based on the availability of reports from the investment funds.

Investments in Operating Affiliates

Investments in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies are classified as ‘investments in operating affiliates’ on the Company’s balance sheets and are accounted for under the equity method. Such investments primarily include the Company’s investment in Coface SA (“Coface”), Greysbridge Holdings Ltd., (“Greysbridge”) and Premia Holdings Ltd. Investments in Coface and Premia Holdings Ltd. are generally recorded on a three month lag, while the Company’s investment in

Greysbridge is not recorded on a lag.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned approximately 29.9% of the issued shares of Coface, or 30% excluding treasury shares, with a carrying value of $521 million, compared to $563 million at December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned 40% of Greysbridge with a carrying value of $362 million, compared to $306 million at December 31, 2022.

Income from operating affiliates for the 2023 third quarter was $54 million, compared to $9 million, for the 2022 third quarter, and income of $115 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $39 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022.

8. Fair Value

Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP and provides a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, it establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The level in the hierarchy within which a given fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement (Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest priority).

The levels in the hierarchy are defined as follows:


Level 1:						Inputs to the valuation methodology are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2:						Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

Level 3:						Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for securities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such securities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. The Company reviews its securities measured at fair value and discusses the proper classification of such investments with investment advisers and others.

The Company determines the existence of an active market based on its judgment as to whether transactions for the financial instrument occur in such market with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources as inputs into its process for determining fair values of its fixed maturity investments. To validate the techniques or models used by pricing sources, the Company's review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) quantitative analysis (e.g., comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark, with significant differences identified and investigated); (ii) a review of the average number of prices obtained in the pricing process and the range of resulting fair values; (iii) initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; (iv) a comparison of the fair value estimates to the Company’s knowledge of the current market; (v) a comparison of the pricing services' fair values to other pricing services' fair values for the same investments; and (vi) periodic back-testing, which includes randomly selecting purchased or sold securities and comparing the executed prices to the fair value estimates from the pricing service. A price source hierarchy was maintained in order to determine which price source would be used (i.e., a price obtained from a pricing service with more seniority in the hierarchy will be used over a less senior one in all cases). The hierarchy prioritizes pricing

services based on availability and reliability and assigns the highest priority to index providers. Based on the above review, the Company will challenge any prices for a security or portfolio which are considered not to be representative of fair value. The Company did not adjust any of the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources at September 30, 2023.

In certain circumstances, when fair values are unavailable from these independent pricing sources, quotes are obtained directly from broker-dealers who are active in the corresponding markets. Such quotes are subject to the validation procedures noted above. Where quotes are unavailable, fair value is determined by the Investment Manager using quantitative and qualitative assessments such as internally modeled values. Of the $27.5 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2023, approximately $15 million, or 0.1%, were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes or modeled valuations. Of the $23.8 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2022, approximately $13 million, or 0.1%, were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes or modeled valuations.

Fixed maturities

The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value of its fixed maturity securities, when possible. The market approach includes obtaining prices from independent pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as to a lesser extent quotes from broker-dealers. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Each source has its own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair value.

The following describes the significant inputs generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities by asset class:

U.S. government and government agencies – valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The Company determined that all U.S. Treasuries would be classified as Level 1 securities due to observed levels of trading activity, the high number of strongly correlated pricing quotes received on U.S. Treasuries and other factors. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free

yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified within Level 2.

Corporate bonds – valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process.

Municipal bonds – valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using spreads obtained from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for municipal bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Residential mortgage-backed securities – valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through pricing vendors and index providers with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models (including Option Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the expected average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities – valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for commercial mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Non-U.S. government securities – valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally based on international indices or valuation models which include daily observed yield curves, cross-currency basis index spreads and country credit spreads. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for non-U.S. government securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Asset-backed securities – valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models (including Option Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for asset-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Equity securities

The Company determined that exchange-traded equity securities would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Certain equity securities are included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as the significant inputs used in the pricing process for such securities are observable market inputs. Other equity securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, the fair value of such securities are classified as Level 3.

Other investments

The Company’s other investments include term loan investments for which fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of term loan investments with similar characteristics, pricing models or matrix pricing. Such investments are generally classified within Level 2. The fair values for certain of the Company’s other investments are determined using net asset values as advised by external fund managers. The net asset value is based on the fund manager’s valuation of the underlying holdings in accordance with the fund’s governing documents. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, certain investments that are measured at

fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities.

Derivative instruments

The Company’s futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and other derivatives trade in the over-the-counter derivative market. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value for these derivatives based on significant observable market inputs from third party pricing vendors, non-binding broker-dealer quotes and/or recent trading activity. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for these derivative instruments are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Short-term investments

The Company determined that certain of its short-term investments held in highly liquid money market-type funds, Treasury bills and commercial paper would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values of certain short-term investments are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve and are classified within Level 2. Other short-term investments are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. As the significant inputs used to price these short-term securities are unobservable, the fair value of such securities are classified as Level 3.

Residential mortgage loans

The Company’s residential mortgage loans (included in ‘other assets’ in the consolidated balance sheets) include amounts related to the Company’s whole mortgage loan purchase and sell program. Fair values of residential mortgage loans are generally determined based on market prices. As significant inputs used in pricing process for these residential mortgage loans are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2.

Other liabilities

The Company’s other liabilities include contingent and deferred consideration liabilities related to the Company’s acquisitions. Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in ‘net realized gains (losses).’ To determine the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, the Company estimates the future payments using an income approach based on modeled inputs which include a weighted average cost of capital. Deferred consideration liabilities are measured at fair value on the transaction date. The Company determined that contingent and deferred consideration liabilities would be included within Level 3.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The carrying values of cash, accrued investment income, receivable for securities sold, certain other assets, payable for securities purchased and certain other liabilities approximated their fair values at September 30, 2023, due to their respective short maturities. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their respective fair values are classified within Level 2.

At September 30, 2023, the Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $2.7 billion and had a fair value of $2.3 billion. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $2.7 billion and had a fair value of $2.4 billion. The fair values of the senior notes were obtained from a third party pricing service and are based on observable market inputs. As such, the fair values of the senior notes are classified within Level 2.

9. Derivative Instruments

The Company’s investment strategy allows for the use of derivative instruments. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company utilizes exchange traded U.S. Treasury note, Eurodollar and other futures contracts and commodity futures to manage portfolio duration or replicate investment positions in its portfolios and the Company routinely utilizes foreign currency forward contracts, currency options, index futures contracts and other derivatives as part of its total return objective. In addition, certain of the Company’s investments are managed in portfolios which incorporate the use of foreign currency forward contracts which are intended to provide an economic hedge against foreign currency movements.

From time to time, the Company purchases to-be-announced mortgage backed securities (“TBAs”) as part of its investment strategy. TBAs represent commitments to purchase a future issuance of agency mortgage backed securities. For the period between purchase of a TBA and issuance of the underlying security, the Company’s position is accounted for as a derivative. The Company purchases TBAs in both long and short positions to enhance investment performance and as part of its overall investment strategy.

The following table summarizes information on the fair values and notional values of the Company’s derivative instruments:


	Estimated Fair Value
	Asset Derivatives (1)		Liability Derivatives (1)		Notional Value (2)
September 30, 2023
Futures contracts	$	129	$	(62)	$	4,515
Foreign currency forward contracts	32		(35)		1,481

Other (3)	31		(17)		275
Total	$	192	$	(114)

December 31, 2022
Futures contracts	$	51	$	(17)	$	3,138
Foreign currency forward contracts	39		(35)		1,136

Other (3)	59		(24)		3,592
Total	$	149	$	(76)

(1) The fair value of asset derivatives are included in ‘other assets’ and the fair value of liability derivatives are included in ‘other liabilities.’

(2) Represents the absolute notional value of all outstanding contracts, consisting of long and short positions.

(3) Includes swaps, options and other derivatives contracts.

The Company did not hold any derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company’s derivative instruments can be traded under master netting agreements, which establish terms that apply to all derivative transactions with a counterparty. In the event of a bankruptcy or other stipulated event of default, such agreements provide that the non-defaulting party may elect to terminate all outstanding derivative transactions, in which case all individual derivative positions (loss or gain) with a counterparty are closed out and netted and replaced with a single amount, usually referred to as the termination amount, which is expressed in a single currency. The resulting single net amount, where positive, is payable to the party “in-the-money” regardless of whether or not it is the defaulting party,

unless the parties have agreed that only the non-defaulting party is entitled to receive a termination payment where the net amount is positive and is in its favor. Contractual close-out netting reduces derivatives credit exposure from gross to net exposure.

At September 30, 2023, asset derivatives and liability derivatives of $192 million and $114 million, respectively, were subject to a master netting agreement, compared to $147 million and $73 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The remaining derivatives included in the preceding table were not subject to a master netting agreement.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Letter of Credit and Revolving Credit Facilities

In the normal course of its operations, the Company enters into agreements with financial institutions to obtain secured and unsecured credit facilities. On August 23, 2023, Arch Capital and certain of its subsidiaries amended the existing credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, as amended, consists of a $425 million secured facility for letters of credit (the “Secured Facility”) and a $500 million unsecured facility for revolving loans and letters of credit (the “Unsecured Facility”). Obligations of each borrower for letters of credit under the Secured Facility are secured by cash and eligible securities of such borrower and held in collateral accounts. Commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to, but not exceeding, an aggregate of $1.5 billion. Arch Capital has a one-time option to convert any or all outstanding revolving loans of Arch Capital and/or Arch Capital Group (U.S.) Inc. (“Arch-U.S.”) to term loans with the same terms as the revolving loans except that any prepayments may not be re-borrowed. Borrowings of revolving loans may be made at a variable rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Secured letters of credit are available for issuance on behalf of certain Arch Capital subsidiaries. Arch Capital guarantees the obligations of Arch-U.S. and Arch U.S. MI Holdings Inc., Arch-U.S. guarantees the obligations of Arch Capital, and Arch Capital Finance LLC guarantees the obligations of Arch Capital and Arch-U.S.

The commitments under the Credit Agreement will expire on August 23, 2028, and all loans then outstanding under the Credit Facility must be repaid at such time. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility will not have an expiration date later than August 23, 2029.

On September 27, 2023, Arch Reinsurance Ltd., (“Arch Re Bermuda”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arch Capital, entered as the borrower into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “LOC Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc (“Lloyds Bank”). The LOC Agreement provides for a $175 million unsecured facility for letters of credit. The commitments under the LOC Agreement will expire on September 27, 2025.

At September 30, 2023, the $425 million secured letter of credit facility had $355 million of letters of credit outstanding and remaining capacity of $70 million. In addition, certain of Arch Capital’s subsidiaries had outstanding secured and unsecured letters of credit through other facilities of $35 million and $400 million respectively, which were issued in the normal course of business.

See note 16, “Subsequent Events.”

Investment Commitments

The Company’s investment commitments, which are primarily related to agreements entered into by the Company to invest in funds and separately managed accounts when called upon, were approximately $3.1 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2022.

Interest Paid

Interest paid on the Company’s senior notes and other borrowings was $63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $65 million for the 2022 period.

11. Variable Interest Entities

Bellemeade Re

The Company has entered into aggregate excess of loss mortgage reinsurance agreements with various special purpose reinsurance companies domiciled in Bermuda (the “Bellemeade Agreements”). At the time the Bellemeade Agreements were entered into, the applicability of the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs was evaluated. As a result of the evaluation of the Bellemeade Agreements, the Company concluded that these entities are VIEs. However, given that the ceding insurers do not have the unilateral power to direct those activities that are significant to their economic performance, the Company does not consolidate such entities in its consolidated financial statements. The reinsurance premium paid in regard to the Bellemeade Agreements is calculated by multiplying the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount at the beginning of the period by the coupon rate, which is the SOFR plus a contractual risk margin, less the actual investment income collected during the preceding month on the assets included in the underlying reinsurance trusts. In the event the assets included in the underlying reinsurance trusts (became severely impaired or worthless and the special purpose reinsurance companies were unable to meet their future obligations, the Company’s mortgage insurance subsidiaries would be liable to fulfill claim payments to policyholders. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs is determined as the amount of mortgage insurance claim payments on the insured policies, net of aggregate reinsurance payments previously received, up to the full aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage amounts. See note 16, “Subsequent Events.”

The following table summarizes the total assets of the Bellemeade entities:



	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

13. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes, including income (loss) from operating affiliates, resulted in an effective tax rate of 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, included discrete income tax benefits of $6 million and $37 million, which had the effect of decreasing the effective tax rate on net income available to Arch common shareholders by 0.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The discrete tax items in the 2023 and 2022 periods were primarily related to equity compensation windfall benefits and the release of a valuation allowance on certain U.K. deferred tax assets, respectively.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $496 million at September 30, 2023, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $531 million at December 31, 2022. The change is primarily a result of market value fluctuations in the Company’s investment portfolio. In addition, the Company paid $127 million and $202 million of income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

14. Legal Proceedings

The Company, in common with the insurance industry in general, is subject to litigation and arbitration in the normal course of its business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was not a party to any litigation or arbitration which is expected by management to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and liquidity.

15. Transactions with Related Parties

Premia Reinsurance Ltd. is a multi-line Bermuda reinsurance company (and its affiliates together with Premia Holdings Ltd., “Premia”). The Company has entered into certain reinsurance transactions with Premia. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net premiums written and earned of approximately $80 million, compared to a de minimis amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a funds held asset from Premia of $176 million, compared to $119 million at December 31, 2022.

Somers Group Holdings Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Somers”) are wholly owned by Greysbridge. The Company has entered into certain reinsurance transactions with Somers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s net premiums written was reduced by $457 million, compared to $552 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, Somers paid certain acquisition costs and administrative fees to the Company. At September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a reinsurance recoverable on unpaid and paid losses from Somers of $1.3 billion and a reinsurance balance payable to Somers of $499 million, compared to $1.2 billion and $414 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

16. Subsequent Events

Bellemeade Re 2023-1 Ltd.

In October 2023, the Company’s U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries entered into an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement with Bellemeade Re 2023-1 Ltd. (“Bellemeade 2023-1”), a special purpose reinsurance company domiciled in Bermuda. The Bellemeade 2023-1 agreement provides for up to $233 million of aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage at inception in excess of $62 million of aggregate losses for new delinquencies on a portfolio of in-force policies primarily issued from January 2023 through September 2023. The coverage amount decreases over a ten-year period as the underlying covered mortgages amortize.

Bellemeade 2023-1 financed the coverage through the issuance of mortgage insurance-linked notes in an aggregate amount of approximately $187 million to unrelated investors (the “Notes”) and an additional $46 million capacity was provided directly to Arch MI U.S. by a separate panel of reinsurers. The maturity date of the Notes is October 25, 2033. The Notes will be redeemed prior to maturity upon the occurrence of a mandatory termination event or if the ceding insurers trigger a termination of the reinsurance agreement following the occurrence of an optional termination event. All of the proceeds paid to Bellemeade 2023-1 from the sale of the Notes were deposited into a reinsurance trust as security for Bellemeade 2023-1’s obligations. At all times, funds in the reinsurance trust account are required to be invested in high credit quality money market funds.

Letter of Credit Facility Agreement

On October 25, 2023, Arch Re Bermuda entered into Amendment No. 3 and Joinder to the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement with Lloyds Bank, which amends the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Letter of Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 29, 2021 and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 and Joinder to Letter of Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 27, 2022 (the “Existing LOC Agreement”). The Existing LOC Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 3 (the “Amended LOC Agreement”), provides for a $530 million facility for letters of credit in respect of Tier 2 Funds at Lloyds. As of October 25, 2023, $530 million face amount of letters of credit had been issued under this facility. The availability period ends on May 31, 2024.

CURRENT OUTLOOK

As we near the end of 2023 and look ahead to 2024, our objective to deliver long term value for our shareholders remains the same. With our commitment to underwriting acumen, prudent reserving and cycle-focused capital allocation, we were able to deliver another profitable quarter. The 2023 third quarter net income available to Arch common shareholder was $713 million, primarily reflecting strong underwriting returns. Our underwriting teams capitalized on good market conditions and relatively light catastrophe losses to produce an outstanding $721 million of underwriting income in the 2023 third quarter. Financial highlights for the quarter included book value per share growth of 4.3% and annualized net income and operating returns on average common equity of 20.2% and 24.8%, respectively. See “Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Our property and casualty underwriting teams continued to lean into attractive market conditions where excellent risk-adjusted returns remain available resulting in $3.1 billion of net premium written in the 2023 third quarter, up 26% from one year ago. Broadly, we continue to achieve rate increases above loss trend in most sectors of the property and casualty market. Although rate increases are slowing in some lines, they are re-accelerating in others, which is a good reminder that there is not a single insurance cycle, but many. We continue to execute our cycle management strategy by actively allocating capital to the segments with the best risk-adjusted returns.

In our insurance segment, we continue to take advantage of favorable global market conditions. Growth in net premiums written in the insurance segment was over 11% in the 2023 third quarter. Such growth was more broad-based because of our focus on small and medium-sized specialty accounts. Although pricing has declined in some lines, such as large public directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the property and casualty markets in which our insurance segment operates generally continue to provide adequate returns.

As underwriting opportunities arise, our reinsurance segment is able to react quickly and significantly when markets pivot. In the reinsurance property market, our overall exposure to property catastrophe risk remains well below our self-imposed threshold (see “Catastrophic and Severe Economic Events ”) and, because of our diversified portfolio and broad set of opportunities, we retain the flexibility to pursue the most attractive returns across lines and geographies. Our expectation is that we will continue to see hard property market conditions through next year’s renewal cycle as loss activity remains elevated.

Inflation continues to be a focus for our industry. We proactively analyze available data and we incorporate emerging trends into our pricing and reserving. We believe

that this discipline, coupled with increases in future investment returns and prudent reserving, allows us to maximize the capabilities of our diversified platform.

Our mortgage segment continues to deliver a steady level of earnings for our shareholders. Higher persistency of our in force U.S. primary mortgage insurance portfolio helped offset the slight decrease in new insurance written, which has been affected by a lower volume of mortgage originations primarily as a result of higher mortgage rates. We continue to see meaningful opportunities for the mortgage segment outside of the U.S. and our strategic decision to diversify our mortgage operations is yielding positive results.

FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management uses the following three key financial indicators in evaluating our performance and measuring the overall growth in value generated for Arch Capital’s common shareholders:

Book Value per Share

Book value per share represents total common shareholders’ equity available to Arch divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Management uses growth in book value per share as a key measure of the value generated for our common shareholders each period and believes that book value per share is the key driver of Arch Capital’s share price over time. Book value per share is impacted by, among other factors, our underwriting results, investment returns and share repurchase activity, which has an accretive or dilutive impact on book value per share depending on the purchase price. Book value per share was $38.62 at September 30, 2023, compared to $37.04 at June 30, 2023, and $29.69 at September 30, 2022. The 4.3% increase in book value per share for the 2023 third quarter reflected strong underwriting results.

Operating Return on Average Common Equity

Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”) represents annualized after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders divided by the average of beginning and ending common shareholders’ equity available to Arch during the period. After-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G, represents 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, loss on redemption of preferred shares and income taxes. Management uses Operating ROAE as a key measure of the


ARCH CAPITAL			39			2023 THIRD QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

return generated to common shareholders. See “Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Our annualized net income return on average common equity was 20.2% for the 2023 third quarter, compared to 0.2% for the 2022 third quarter, and 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 6.6% for the 2022 period. Our Operating ROAE was 24.8% for the 2023 third quarter, compared to 3.8% for the 2022 third quarter, and 22.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 11.6% for the 2022 period. The 2023 periods reflected strong underwriting and investment results, while the 2022 periods reflected lower underwriting returns, due in part to a higher level of catastrophic loss activity.

Total Return on Investments

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. In addition, total return incorporates the timing of investment returns during the periods. The following table summarizes our total return compared to the benchmark return against which we measured our portfolio during the periods. See “Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”


	Arch Portfolio		Benchmark Return
Pre-tax total return (before investment expenses):
2023 Third Quarter	(0.40)	%	(0.36)	%
2022 Third Quarter	(3.01)	%	(4.01)	%

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023	2.68	%	2.97	%
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022	(8.83)	%	(12.78)	%

Total return for the 2023 third quarter was negative as our fixed income portfolio was impacted by the increase in interest rates. We continue to maintain a relatively short duration on our portfolio of 2.97 years at September 30, 2023.

The benchmark return index is a customized combination of indices intended to approximate a target portfolio by asset mix and average credit quality while also matching the approximate estimated duration and currency mix of our insurance and reinsurance liabilities. Although the estimated duration and average credit quality of this index will move as the duration and rating of its constituent securities change, generally we do not adjust the composition of the benchmark return index except to incorporate changes to the mix of liability currencies and durations noted above. The

benchmark return index should not be interpreted as expressing a preference for or aversion to any particular sector or sector weight. The index is intended solely to provide, unlike many master indices that change based on the size of their constituent indices, a relatively stable basket of investable indices. At September 30, 2023, the benchmark return index had an average credit quality of “A1” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and an estimated duration of 2.72 years.

The benchmark return index included weightings to the following indices:


	%
ICE BofA 1-10 Year U.S. Corporate Index	28.50
Yield on 3-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index plus 6%	16.50

COMMENT ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this filing, we present our operations in the way that we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information in evaluating the performance of our company. This presentation includes the use of after-tax operating income 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, income taxes, 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


ARCH CAPITAL			40			2023 THIRD QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

GAAP financial measures) in accordance with Regulation G is included under “Results of Operations” below.

We believe 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, transaction costs and other in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends, in our business. 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 our 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 our 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 our investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization.

The use of the equity method on certain of our investments is driven by the ownership structure of such funds (either limited partnerships or limited liability companies). In applying the equity method, these investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the market value of the underlying securities in the funds). This method of accounting is different from the way that we account for our other investments and the timing of the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method may differ from gains or losses in the future upon sale or maturity of such investments.

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

Due to these reasons, we exclude 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 from the calculation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders.

We believe that showing net income available to Arch common shareholders exclusive of the items referred to above reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business since we evaluate the performance of and manage our business to produce an underwriting profit. In addition to presenting the net income available to Arch common shareholders, we believe that this presentation enables

investors and other users of our financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. We also believe that this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, allows the users of financial information to compare our performance with our industry peer group. We believe that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow us and the insurance industry as a whole generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons.

Our segment information includes the presentation of consolidated underwriting income or loss. Such measures represent the pre-tax profitability of our 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 our individual underwriting operations. Underwriting income or loss does not incorporate items included in our corporate segment. While these measures are presented in note 4, “Segment Information,” of the notes accompanying our 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 in note 4, “Segment Information” of the notes accompanying our consolidated financial statements.

We measure segment performance for our three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. We do not manage our assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangibles and, accordingly, investment income and other non-underwriting related items are not allocated to each underwriting segment.

Our presentation of segment information includes the use of a current year loss ratio which excludes favorable or adverse development in prior year loss reserves. This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measure to the loss ratio (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in accordance with Regulation G is shown on the individual segment pages. Management utilizes the current year loss ratio in its analysis of the underwriting performance of each of our underwriting segments.

Table of Contents

financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, total return incorporates the timing of investment returns during the periods. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure for total return. Management uses total return on investments as a key measure of the return generated to Arch common shareholders, and compares the return generated by our investment portfolio against benchmark returns during the periods.

(1) Net realized gains or losses include 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.

(2) Income tax expense on 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 reflects the relative mix reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction.

Segment Information

We classify our businesses into three underwriting segments: insurance, reinsurance and mortgage. Our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to our chief operating decision makers. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the President and Chief Underwriting Officer are the Company’s chief operating decision makers. They do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. Management measures segment performance for our three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. We do not manage our assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment.

We determined our reportable segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses.

The table below shows the components of the mortgage segment’s loss ratio:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Current year	19.3	%	20.6	%	22.2	%	18.3	%
Prior period reserve development	(31.4)	%	(44.7)	%	(27.5)	%	(39.9)	%
Loss ratio	(12.1)	%	(24.1)	%	(5.3)	%	(21.6)	%

Current Year Loss Ratio.

2023 Third Quarter versus 2022 Period. The mortgage segment’s current year loss ratio was 1.3 points lower in the 2023 third quarter than in the 2022 third quarter. The current year loss ratio for the 2023 third quarter, excluding net favorable development, was down slightly, reflecting lower estimated claim rates partially offset by slightly higher new delinquencies than in the comparable 2022 third quarter loss ratio.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022 Period. The mortgage segment’s current year loss ratio was 3.9 points higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 than for the 2022 period. The higher current year loss ratio for the 2023 period reflected higher level of new delinquencies than in the 2022 period.

Prior Period Reserve Development.

The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $92 million, or 31.4 points, for the 2023 third quarter, compared to $126 million, or 44.7 points, for the 2022 third quarter, and $243 million, or 27.5 points, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $346 million, or 39.9 points, for the 2022 period. See note 5, “Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses,” to our consolidated financial statements for information about the mortgage segment’s prior year reserve development.

Underwriting Expenses.

2023 Third Quarter versus 2022 Period. The underwriting expense ratio for the mortgage segment was 16.8% in the 2023 third quarter, compared to 18.9% in the 2022 third quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher level of profit commissions on ceded U.S. primary and Australian mortgage insurance business.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022 period. The underwriting expense ratio for the mortgage segment was 18.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 20.5% for the 2022 period. The decrease was primarily due to higher level of profit commissions on ceded U.S. primary mortgage insurance business.

Corporate Segment

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 investments accounted for using the equity method, other income or loss, corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, net foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, income from operating affiliates and items related to our non-cumulative preferred shares.

Net Investment Income.

The components of net investment income were derived from the following sources:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Fixed maturities	$	243	$	124	$	645	$	311

Short-term investments	19		9		48		16
Equity securities	5		4		15		16

Other (1)	22		9		60		29
Gross investment income	289		146		768		372
Investment expenses (2)	(20)		(17)		(58)		(57)
Net investment income	$	269	$	129	$	710	315

(1) Amounts include dividends and other distributions on investment funds, term loan investments, funds held balances, cash balances and other items.

(2) Investment expenses were approximately 0.30% of average invested assets for the 2023 third quarter, compared to 0.29% for the 2022 third quarter, and 0.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 0.30% for the 2022 period.

The higher level of net investment income for the 2023 third quarter was primarily related to higher yields available in the financial market. The pre-tax investment income yield, calculated based on amortized cost and on an annualized basis, was 3.68% for the 2023 third quarter, compared to 2.06% for the 2022 third quarter, and 3.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 1.72% for the 2022 period. Net cash flow from operating activities contributed $4.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which has helped to grow our invested asset base by approximately 20% in the last twelve months and contributed to the growth in net investment income.

Corporate Expenses.

Corporate expenses were $20 million for the 2023 third quarter, compared to $18 million for the 2022 third quarter, and $69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $78 million for the 2022 period. Such amounts primarily represent certain holding company costs


ARCH CAPITAL			50			2023 THIRD QUARTER FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents

necessary to support our worldwide operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company.

Other Income or Losses.

Other income or loss for the 2023 third quarter was a loss of $4 million, compared to a loss of $14 million for the 2022 third quarter, and income of $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $35 million for the 2022 period. Amounts in both periods primarily reflect changes in the cash surrender value of our investment in corporate-owned life insurance.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.

Amortization of intangible assets for the 2023 third quarter was $24 million, compared to $26 million for the 2022 third quarter, and $71 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $80 million for the 2022 period. Amounts in both periods primarily attributed to amortization of finite-lived intangible assets.

Interest Expense.

Interest expense was $34 million for the 2023 third quarter, compared to $33 million for the 2022 third quarter, and $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consistent with $99 million for the 2022 period. Interest expense primarily reflects amounts related to our outstanding senior notes.

Net Realized Gains or Losses.

Net realized losses for the 2023 third quarter were $248 million, compared to net realized losses of $184 million for the 2022 third quarter. Net realized losses were $354 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net realized losses of $743 million for the 2022 period. Amounts in both periods reflected sales of investments as well as the impact of financial market movements on the Company’s equity securities and investments accounted for under the fair value option method. Currently, our portfolio is actively managed to maximize total return within certain guidelines. The effect of financial market movements on the investment portfolio will directly impact net realized gains and losses as the portfolio is adjusted and rebalanced. Net realized gains or losses from the sale of fixed maturities primarily results from our decisions to reduce credit exposure, to change duration targets, to rebalance our portfolios or due to relative value determinations.

Net realized gains or losses also include realized and unrealized contract gains and losses on our derivative instruments, changes in the fair value of assets accounted for using the fair value option and in the fair value of equities, along with changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings. See note 7, “Investment Information—Net Realized Gains (Losses)” and note 7, “Investment Information—

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Equity in Net Income or Losses of Investment Funds Accounted for Using the Equity Method.

Equity in net income of investment funds accounted for using the equity method was $59 million in the 2023 third quarter, compared to a loss of $19 million for the 2022 third quarter, and income of $176 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $75 million for the 2022 period. Such investments are generally recorded on a one to three month lag based on the availability of reports from the investment funds. Investment funds accounted for using the equity method totaled $4.3 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2022. See note 7, “Investment Information—Investments Accounted For Using the Equity Method,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains or Losses.

Net foreign exchange gains for the 2023 third quarter were $22 million, compared to gains of $91 million for the 2022 third quarter. Net foreign exchange losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $1 million, compared to gains of $183 million for the 2022 period. Amounts in both periods were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing our net insurance liabilities required to be settled in foreign currencies at each balance sheet date.

Income Tax Expense.

Our income tax provision on income or loss before income taxes, including income or loss from operating affiliates, resulted in an expense of 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to an expense of 3.0% for the 2022 period. See note 13, “Income Taxes” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Income or Losses from Operating Affiliates.

Income from operating affiliates for 2023 third quarter was $54 million, compared to income of $9 million for the 2022 third quarter, and income of $115 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $39 million for the 2022 period. See note 7, “Investment Information—Investments in Operating Affiliates,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Bellemeade Re

We have entered into aggregate excess of loss mortgage reinsurance agreements with various special purpose reinsurance companies domiciled in Bermuda (the “Bellemeade Agreements”). For the respective coverage periods, we will retain the first layer of the respective aggregate losses and the special purpose reinsurance companies will provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding coverage amount. We will then retain losses in excess of the outstanding coverage limit. The aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage generally decreases over a ten-year period as the underlying covered mortgages amortize, unless provisional call options embedded within certain of the Bellemeade Agreements are executed or if pre-defined delinquency triggering events occur.

The following table summarizes the respective coverages and retentions at September 30, 2023:

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

We establish reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“Loss Reserves”) which represent estimates involving actuarial and statistical projections, at a given point in time, of our expectations of the ultimate settlement and administration costs of losses incurred. Estimating Loss Reserves is inherently difficult. We utilize actuarial models as well as available historical insurance industry loss ratio experience and loss development patterns to assist in the establishment of Loss Reserves. Actual losses and loss adjustment expenses paid will deviate, perhaps substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our Loss Reserves, net of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, by type and by operating segment were as follows:

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations.

Arch Capital is a holding company whose assets primarily consist of the shares in its subsidiaries. Generally, Arch Capital depends on its available cash resources, liquid investments and dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries to make payments, including the payment of debt service obligations and operating expenses it may incur and any dividends or liquidation amounts with respect to our preferred and common shares.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Arch Capital received dividends of $98 million from Arch Reinsurance Ltd. (“Arch Re Bermuda”), our Bermuda based reinsurer and insurer, which can pay approximately $3.6 billion to Arch Capital during the remainder of 2023 without providing an affidavit to the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

We expect that our liquidity needs, including our anticipated (re)insurance obligations and operating and capital expenditure needs, for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future, will be met by funds generated from underwriting activities and investment income, as well as by our balance of cash, short-term investments, proceeds on the sale or maturity of our investments, and our credit facilities. During the 2023 third quarter, Arch Capital and certain of its subsidiaries amended the existing credit agreement. For details on our credit agreement, see note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies” and see note 16, “Subsequent Events ” to our consolidated financial statements.

Arch MI U.S. is required to maintain compliance with the GSEs requirements, known as the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements or “PMIERs.” The financial requirements require an eligible mortgage insurer’s available assets, which generally include only the most liquid assets of

an insurer, to meet or exceed “minimum required assets” as of each quarter end. Minimum required assets are calculated from PMIERs tables with several risk dimensions (including origination year, original loan-to-value and original credit score of performing loans, and the delinquency status of non-performing loans) and are subject to a minimum amount. Arch MI U.S. satisfied the PMIERs’ financial requirements with an estimated PMIER sufficiency ratio of 245% at September 30, 2023, compared to 236% at December 31, 2022.

Arch Capital, through its subsidiaries, provides financial support to certain of its insurance subsidiaries and affiliates, through certain reinsurance arrangements beneficial to the ratings of such subsidiaries. Historically, our insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance subsidiaries have entered into separate reinsurance arrangements with Arch Re Bermuda covering individual lines of business.

Table of Contents

CATASTROPHIC AND SEVERE ECONOMIC EVENTS

We have large aggregate exposures to natural and man-made catastrophic events, pandemic events like COVID-19 and severe economic events. Natural catastrophes can be caused by various events, including hurricanes, floods, windstorms, earthquakes, hailstorms, tornadoes, explosions, severe winter weather, fires, droughts and other natural disasters. Man-made catastrophic events may include acts of war, acts of terrorism and political instability. Catastrophes can also cause losses in non-property business such as mortgage insurance, workers’ compensation or general liability. In addition to the nature of property business, we believe that economic and geographic trends affecting insured property, including inflation, property value appreciation and geographic concentration, tend to generally increase the size of losses from catastrophic events over time.

Our models employ both proprietary and vendor-based systems and include cross-line correlations for property, marine, offshore energy, aviation, workers compensation and personal accident. We seek to limit the probable maximum pre-tax loss to a specific level for severe catastrophic events. Currently, we seek to limit our 1-in-250 year return period net probable maximum loss from a severe catastrophic event in any geographic zone to approximately 25% of tangible shareholders’ equity available to Arch (total shareholders’ equity available to Arch less goodwill and intangible assets). We reserve the right to change this threshold at any time.

Based on in-force exposure estimated as of October 1, 2023, our modeled peak zone catastrophe exposure was a windstorm affecting the Florida Tri-County regions, with a net probable maximum pre-tax loss of $1.47 billion, followed by windstorms affecting the Northeastern U.S. regions and the Gulf of Mexico with net probable maximum pre-tax losses of $1.41 billion and $1.35 billion, respectively. Our exposures to other perils, such as U.S. earthquake and international events, were less than the exposures arising from U.S. windstorms and hurricanes. As of October 1, 2023, our modeled peak zone earthquake exposure (San Francisco earthquake) represented approximately 57% of our peak zone catastrophe exposure, and our modeled peak zone international exposure (UK windstorm) was substantially less than both our peak zone windstorm and earthquake exposures.

We also have significant exposure to losses due to mortgage defaults resulting from severe economic events in the future. For our U.S. mortgage insurance business, we have developed a proprietary risk model (“Realistic Disaster Scenario” or “RDS”) that simulates the maximum loss resulting from a severe economic downturn impacting the housing market. The RDS models the collective impact of adverse conditions for key economic indicators, the most

significant of which is a decline in home prices. The RDS model projects paths of future home prices, unemployment rates, income levels and interest rates and assumes correlation across states and geographic regions. The resulting future performance of our in-force portfolio is then estimated under the economic stress scenario, reflecting loan and borrower information.

Currently, we seek to limit our modeled RDS loss from a severe economic event to approximately 25% of tangible shareholders’ equity available to Arch. We reserve the right to change this threshold at any time. Based on in-force exposure estimated as of October 1, 2023, our modeled RDS loss was approximately 10% of tangible shareholders’ equity available to Arch.

Net probable maximum loss estimates are net of expected reinsurance recoveries, before income tax and before excess reinsurance reinstatement premiums. RDS loss estimates are net of expected reinsurance recoveries and before income tax. Catastrophe loss estimates are reflective of the zone indicated and not the entire portfolio. Since hurricanes and windstorms can affect more than one zone and make multiple landfalls, our catastrophe loss estimates include clash estimates from other zones. Our catastrophe loss estimates and RDS loss estimates do not represent our maximum exposures and it is highly likely that our actual incurred losses would vary materially from the modeled estimates. There can be no assurances that we will not suffer pre-tax losses greater than 25% of our tangible shareholders’ equity from one or more catastrophic events or severe economic events due to several factors. These factors include the inherent uncertainties in estimating the frequency and severity of such events and the margin of error in making such determinations resulting from potential inaccuracies and inadequacies in the data provided by clients and brokers, the modeling techniques and the application of such techniques or as a result of a decision to change the percentage of shareholders' equity exposed to a single catastrophic event or severe economic event. In addition, actual losses may increase if our reinsurers fail to meet their obligations to us or the reinsurance protections purchased by us are exhausted or are otherwise unavailable. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Industry” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Catastrophic Events and Severe Economic Events” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

MARKET SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

In accordance with the SEC’s Financial Reporting Release No. 48, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures could have on the future earnings, fair values or cash flows of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2023. Market risk represents the risk of changes in the fair value of a financial instrument and is comprised of several components, including liquidity, basis and price risks.

An analysis of material changes in market risk exposures at September 30, 2023 that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in our 2022 Form 10-K (see section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management”) were as follows:

Investment Market Risk

Fixed Income Securities. We invest in interest rate sensitive securities, primarily debt securities. We consider the effect of interest rate movements on the fair value of our fixed maturities, short-term investments and certain of our other investments, equity securities and investment funds accounted for using the equity method which invest in fixed income securities (collectively, “Fixed Income Securities”) and the corresponding change in unrealized appreciation. As interest rates rise, the fair value of our Fixed Income Securities falls, and the converse is also true. Based on historical observations, there is a low probability that all interest rate yield curves would shift in the same direction at the same time. Furthermore, at times interest rate movements in certain credit sectors exhibit a much lower correlation to changes in U.S. Treasury yields. Accordingly, the actual effect of interest rate movements may differ materially from the amounts set forth in the following tables.

The following table summarizes the effect that an immediate, parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve would have had on our Fixed Income Securities:


(U.S. dollars in billions)	Interest Rate Shift in Basis Points
	-100			-50			—		+50			+100
September 30, 2023
Total fair value	$	31.2		$	30.7		$	30.3	$	29.8		$	29.4
Change from base	3.0		%	1.5		%			(1.5)		%	(2.9)		%
Change in unrealized value	$	0.9		$	0.5				$	(0.5)		$	(0.9)

December 31, 2022
Total fair value	$	27.2		$	26.8		$	26.4	$	26.0		$	25.7
Change from base	2.9		%	1.4		%			(1.4)		%	(2.7)		%
Change in unrealized value	$	0.8		$	0.4				$	(0.4)		$	(0.7)

In addition, we consider the effect of credit spread movements on the market value of our Fixed Income Securities and the corresponding change in unrealized value. As credit spreads widen, the fair value of our Fixed Income Securities falls, and the converse is also true. In periods where the spreads on our Fixed Income Securities are much higher than their historical average due to short-term market dislocations, a parallel shift in credit spread levels would result in a much more pronounced change in unrealized value.

The following table summarizes the effect that an immediate, parallel shift in credit spreads in a static interest rate environment would have had on our Fixed Income Securities:


(U.S. dollars in billions)	Credit Spread Shift in Percentage Points
	-100			-50			—		+50			+100
September 30, 2023
Total fair value	$	31.5		$	30.9		$	30.3	$	29.7		$	29.0
Change from base	4.0		%	2.0		%			(2.0)		%	(4.0)		%
Change in unrealized value	$	1.2		$	0.6				$	(0.6)		$	(1.2)

December 31, 2022
Total fair value	$	27.5		$	26.9		$	26.4	$	25.9		$	25.3
Change from base	4.1		%	2.0		%			(2.0)		%	(4.1)		%
Change in unrealized value	$	1.1		$	0.5				$	(0.5)		$	(1.1)

Another method that attempts to measure portfolio risk is Value-at-Risk (“VaR”). VaR measures the worst expected loss under normal market conditions over a specific time interval at a given confidence level. The 1-year 95th percentile parametric VaR reported herein estimates that 95% of the time, the portfolio loss in a one-year horizon would be less than or equal to the calculated number, stated as a percentage of the measured portfolio’s initial value. The VaR is a variance-covariance based estimate, based on linear sensitivities of a portfolio to a broad set of systematic market risk factors and idiosyncratic risk factors mapped to the portfolio exposures. The relationships between the risk factors are estimated using historical data, and the most recent data points are generally given more weight. As of September 30, 2023, our portfolio’s 95th percentile VaR was estimated to be 7.4%, compared to an estimated 8.8% at December 31, 2022. In periods where the volatility of the risk factors mapped to our portfolio’s exposures is higher due to market conditions, the resulting VaR is higher than in other periods.

Equity Securities. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of our investments in equity securities and certain investments accounted for using the equity method with underlying equity strategies totaled $766 million and $791 million, respectively. These investments are exposed to price risk, which is the potential loss arising from decreases in fair value. An immediate hypothetical 10% decline in the value of each position would reduce the fair

Table of Contents

value of such investments by approximately $77 million and $79 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and would have decreased book value per share by approximately $0.21 and $0.21, respectively. An immediate hypothetical 10% increase in the value of each position would increase the fair value of such investments by approximately $77 million and $79 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and would have increased book value per share by approximately $0.21 and $0.21, respectively.

Investment-Related Derivatives. At September 30, 2023, the notional value of all derivative instruments (excluding foreign currency forward contracts which are included in the foreign currency exchange risk analysis below) was $4.7 billion, compared to $6.6 billion at December 31, 2022. If the underlying exposure of each investment-related derivative held at September 30, 2023 depreciated by 100 basis points, it would have resulted in a reduction in net income of approximately $47 million, and a decrease in book value per share of approximately $0.13 per share, compared to $66 million and $0.18 per share, respectively, on investment-related derivatives held at December 31, 2022. If the underlying exposure of each investment-related derivative held at September 30, 2023 appreciated by 100 basis points, it would have resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $47 million, and an increase in book value per share of approximately $0.13 per share, compared to $66 million and $0.18 per share, respectively, on investment-related derivatives held at December 31, 2022. See note 9, “Derivative Instruments,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures concerning derivatives.

For further discussion on investment activity, please refer to “Financial Condition—Investable Assets.”

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Foreign currency rate risk is the potential change in value, income and cash flow arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Through our subsidiaries and branches located in various foreign countries, we conduct our insurance and reinsurance operations in a variety of local currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We generally hold investments in foreign currencies which are intended to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in our net insurance liabilities. We may also utilize foreign currency forward contracts and currency options as part of our investment strategy. See note 9, “Derivative Instruments,” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The following table provides a summary of our net foreign currency exchange exposures, as well as foreign currency derivatives in place to manage these exposures:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Net assets (liabilities), denominated in foreign currencies, excluding shareholders’ equity and derivatives	$	(409)	$	(396)
Shareholders’ equity denominated in foreign currencies (1)	1,084		1,056
Net foreign currency forward contracts outstanding (2)	4		312
Net exposures denominated in foreign currencies	$	679	$	972

Pre-tax impact of a hypothetical 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies:
Shareholders’ equity	$	(68)	$	(97)
Book value per share	$	(0.18)	$	(0.26)

Pre-tax impact of a hypothetical 10% decline of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies:
Shareholders’ equity	$	68	$	97
Book value per share	$	0.18	$	0.26

(1) Represents capital contributions held in the foreign currencies of our operating units.

(2) Represents the net notional value of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Although we generally attempt to match the currency of our projected liabilities with investments in the same currencies, from time to time we may elect to over or underweight one or more currencies, which could increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and increase the volatility of our shareholders’ equity. Historical observations indicate a low probability that all foreign currency exchange rates would shift against the U.S. Dollar in the same direction and at the same time and, accordingly, the actual effect of foreign currency rate movements may differ materially from the amounts set forth above. For further discussion on foreign exchange activity, please refer to “Results of Operations.”

Effects of Inflation

General economic inflation has increased in recent quarters and may continue to remain at elevated levels for an extended period of time. The potential also exists, after a catastrophe loss or pandemic events like COVID-19, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy. This may have a material effect on the adequacy of our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, especially in longer-tailed lines of business, and on the market value of our investment portfolio through rising interest rates. The anticipated effects of inflation are considered in our pricing models, reserving processes and exposure management, across all lines of business and types of loss including natural catastrophe events. The actual effects of inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately settled and will vary by the specific type of inflation affecting each line of business.

Reference is made to the information appearing above under the subheading “Market Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management” under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which information is hereby incorporated by reference.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, for the purposes set forth in the applicable rules under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of and during the period covered by this report with respect to information being recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and with respect to timely communication to them and other members of management responsible for preparing periodic reports of all material information required to be disclosed in this report as it relates to Arch Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We continue to enhance our operating procedures and internal controls to effectively support our business and our regulatory and reporting requirements. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving

its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatement due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting.
