NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

1. GENERAL

Everest Group, Ltd. (“Group”), a Bermuda company, through its subsidiaries, principally provides reinsurance and insurance in the U.S., Bermuda and international markets. As used in this document, “Company” means Group and its subsidiaries.

Effective July 10, 2023, the Company changed its name to Everest Group, Ltd. from Everest Re Group, Ltd. to reflect its evolution, global growth and diversification strategy.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results on an interim basis. Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), has been omitted since it is not required for interim reporting purposes. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filing.

The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of all voting interest entities ("VOE") in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and all variable interest entities ("VIE") in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.

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. Ultimate actual results could differ, possibly materially, from those estimates.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Application of Recently Issued Accounting Standard Changes.

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards that had a material impact during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company assessed the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no accounting standards issued in the six months ended June 30, 2023, that are expected to have a material impact to Group.

Application of Methods and Assumption changes

During 2023, the Company refined its premium estimation methodology for its risk attaching reinsurance contracts within its Reinsurance Segment to continue to recognize gross written premium over the term of the treaty, albeit over a different pattern than what was previously used. The refined estimate resulted in an increase of gross written premium during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 periods and has further aligned the estimation methodology across the reinsurance division globally. This change had no impact on the total written premium to be recognized over the term of the treaty. There was no impact on net earned premium and therefore, no impact on income from continuing operations, net income, or any related per-share amounts.

The fair value of the securities reclassified at the date of transfer was $722 million, net of allowance for current expected credit losses, which was subsequently recognized as the new amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2023, these securities had an unrealized loss of $46 million, which remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the balance sheet and will be

amortized into income through an adjustment to the yields of the underlying securities over the remaining life of the securities. The fair values of these securities incorporate the use of significant unobservable inputs and therefore are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company evaluated fixed maturity securities classified as held to maturity for current expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023 utilizing risk characteristics of each security, including credit rating, remaining time to maturity, adjusted for prepayment considerations, and subordination level, and applying default and recovery rates, which include the incorporation of historical credit loss experience and macroeconomic forecasts, to develop an estimate of current expected credit losses. These fixed maturities classified as held to maturity are of a high credit quality and are all rated investment grade as of June 30, 2023.

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Company’s investments are as follows:

The aggregate fair value and gross unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023 were $20.7 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. The fair value of securities for the single issuer (the United States government), whose securities comprised the largest unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023, amounted to less than 4.4% of the overall fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities available for sale. The fair value of the securities for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023 comprised less than 0.8% of the Company’s fixed maturity securities available for sale. In addition, as indicated on the above table, there was no significant concentration of unrealized losses in any one market sector. The $252 million of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were generally comprised of domestic and foreign corporate securities, agency residential and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Of these unrealized losses, $221 million were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. The $1.6 billion of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position for more than one year related primarily to foreign and domestic corporate securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities, foreign government securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Of these unrealized losses, $1.56 billion were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. In all instances, there were no projected cash flow shortfalls to recover the full book value of the investments and the related interest obligations. The mortgage-backed securities still have excess credit coverage and are current on interest and principal payments. Based upon the Company’s current evaluation of securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023, the unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and non-issuer-specific credit spreads and are not credit-related. In addition, the contractual terms of these securities do not permit these securities to be settled at a price less than their amortized cost.

The Company, given the size of its investment portfolio and capital position, does not have the intent to sell these securities; and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. In addition, all securities currently in an unrealized loss position are current with respect to principal and interest payments.

The fair value of the securities for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss comprised less than 0.2% of the Company’s fixed maturity securities - available for sale. In addition, as indicated on the above table, there was no significant concentration of unrealized losses in any one market sector. The $1.2 billion of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were generally comprised of domestic and foreign corporate securities, asset-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and foreign government securities.

investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. In all instances, there were no projected cash flow shortfalls to recover the full book value of the investments and the related interest obligations. The mortgage-backed securities still have excess credit coverage and are current on interest and principal payments.

The Company records results from limited partnership investments on the equity method of accounting with changes in value reported through net investment income. The net investment income from limited partnerships is dependent upon the Company’s share of the net asset values (“NAVs”) of interests underlying each limited partnership. Due to the timing of receiving financial information from these partnerships, the results are generally reported on a one month or quarter lag. If the Company determines there has been a significant decline in value of a limited partnership during this lag period, a loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline.

The Company had contractual commitments to invest up to an additional $2.8 billion in limited partnerships and private placement loan securities at June 30, 2023. These commitments will be funded when called in accordance with the partnership and loan agreements, which have investment periods that expire, unless extended, through 2027.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies, which are primarily invested in liquid credit, equity, and other assets, including alternative assets. The COLI policies are carried within other invested assets at policy cash surrender value of $968 million and $939 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs primarily as an investor through normal investment activities but also as an investment manager. A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company’s assessment, if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any securities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in general and limited partnerships and other alternative investments. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is limited to the total carrying value of $4.3 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, which are included in general and limited partnerships

and other alternative investments in Other Invested Assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $2.2 billion whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. These investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in management.

In addition, the Company makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments are included in asset-backed securities, which includes collateralized loan obligations and are classified as fixed maturities, available for sale. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company’s investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, credit subordination that reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits or the Company’s inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment.

4. FAIR VALUE

GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use fair value measures 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 on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. 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, with 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 unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

Table of Contents

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.

The Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities are primarily managed by third party investment asset managers. The investment asset managers managing publicly traded securities obtain prices from nationally recognized pricing services. These services seek to utilize market data and observations in their evaluation process. They use pricing applications that vary by asset class and incorporate available market information, and when fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the services will apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. In addition, they use model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities that have prepayment features.

The investment asset managers do not make any changes to prices received from either the pricing services or the investment brokers. In addition, the investment asset managers have procedures in place to review the reasonableness of the prices from the service providers and may request verification of the prices. The Company also continually performs quantitative and qualitative analysis of prices, including but not limited to initial and ongoing review of pricing methodologies, review of prices obtained from pricing services and third party investment asset managers, review of pricing statistics and trends, and comparison of prices for certain securities with a secondary price source for reasonableness. No material variances were noted during these price validation procedures. In limited situations, where financial markets are inactive or illiquid, the Company may use its own assumptions about future cash flows and risk-adjusted discount rates to determine fair value. At June 30, 2023, $1.8 billion of fixed maturities were fair valued using unobservable inputs. The majority of these fixed maturities were valued by investment managers’ valuation committees and many of these fair values were substantiated by valuations from independent third parties. The Company has procedures in place to evaluate these independent third party valuations. At December 31, 2022, $1.7 billion of fixed maturities were fair valued using unobservable inputs.

The Company internally manages a portfolio of assets which had a fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $4.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, primarily comprised of collateralized loan obligations included in asset-backed securities and U.S. treasury fixed maturities. All prices for these securities were obtained from publicly published sources or nationally recognized pricing vendors.

Equity securities denominated in U.S. currency with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are categorized as Level 1 since the quoted prices are directly observable. Equity securities traded on foreign exchanges are categorized as Level 2 due to the added input of a foreign exchange conversion rate to determine fair value. The Company uses foreign currency exchange rates published by nationally recognized sources.

Fixed maturity securities listed in the tables have been categorized as Level 2, since a particular security may not have traded but the pricing services are able to use valuation models with observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves and prices for similar fixed maturity securities in terms of issuer, maturity and seniority. For foreign government securities and foreign corporate securities, the fair values provided by the third party pricing services in local currencies, and where applicable, are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates from nationally recognized sources.

In addition to the valuations from investment managers, some of the fixed maturities with fair values categorized as Level 3 result when prices are not available from the nationally recognized pricing services and are derived using unobservable inputs. The Company will value the securities with unobservable inputs using comparable market information or receive fair values from investment managers. The investment managers may obtain non-binding price quotes for the securities from brokers. The single broker quotes are provided by market makers or broker-dealers who are recognized as market participants in the markets in which they are providing the quotes. The prices received from brokers are reviewed for reasonableness by the third party asset managers and the Company. If the broker quotes are for foreign denominated securities, the quotes are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates from nationally recognized sources.

The composition and valuation inputs for the presented fixed maturities categories Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

•U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury bonds, and the fair value is based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances or benchmark yields;

Table of Contents

•Obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions are comprised of state and municipal bond issuances, and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads;

•Corporate securities are primarily comprised of U.S. corporate and public utility bond issuances, and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads;

•Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances or benchmark yields and cash flow models using observable inputs such as prepayment speeds, collateral performance and default spreads;

Current year incurred losses were $3.9 billion and $3.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross and net reserves increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting an increase in underlying exposure due to earned premium growth, year over year, and an increase of $317 million in 2023 current year attritional losses compared to 2022, partially offset by a decrease of $58 million in 2023 current year catastrophe losses. The Company has estimated and recognized $30 million of reinsurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Reinsurance operation writes worldwide property and casualty reinsurance and specialty lines of business, on both a treaty and facultative basis, through reinsurance brokers, as well as directly with ceding companies. Business is written in the U.S., Bermuda, and Ireland offices, as well as, through branches in Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The Insurance operation writes property and casualty insurance directly and through brokers, surplus lines brokers and general agents within the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Europe, Singapore and South America through its offices in the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Chile, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and branches located in the Netherlands, France, Germany and Spain.

These segments are managed independently, but conform with corporate guidelines with respect to pricing, risk management, control of aggregate catastrophe exposures, capital, investments and support operations. Management generally monitors and evaluates the financial performance of these operating segments based upon their underwriting results.

Underwriting results include earned premium less losses and LAE incurred, commission and brokerage expenses and other underwriting expenses. The Company measures its underwriting results using ratios, in particular loss, commission and brokerage and other underwriting expense ratios, which, respectively, result from dividing incurred losses, commissions and brokerage and other underwriting expenses by premiums earned.

The Company does not maintain separate balance sheet data for its operating segments. Accordingly, the Company does not review and evaluate the financial results of its operating segments based upon balance sheet data.

The following tables present the underwriting results for the operating segments for the periods indicated:

During the fixed rate interest period from May 3, 2007 through May 14, 2017, interest was at the annual rate of 6.6%, payable semi-annually in arrears on November 15 and May 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2007. During the floating rate interest period from May 15, 2017 through maturity, interest will be based on the 3 month LIBOR plus 238.5 basis points, reset quarterly, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, subject to Holdings’ right to defer interest on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years. Deferred interest will accumulate interest at the applicable rate compounded quarterly for periods from and including May 15, 2017. The reset quarterly interest rate for May 15, 2023 to August 14, 2023 is 7.71%. Following the cessation of LIBOR, for periods from and including August 15, 2023, interest will be based on three-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread.

Holdings may redeem the long-term subordinated notes on or after May 15, 2017, in whole or in part at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest; however, redemption on or after the scheduled maturity date and prior to May 1, 2047 is subject to a replacement capital covenant. This covenant is for the benefit of certain senior note holders and it mandates that Holdings receive proceeds from the sale of another subordinated debt issue, of at least similar size, before it may redeem the subordinated notes. The Company’s 4.868% senior notes, due on June 1, 2044, 3.5% senior notes due on October 15, 2050 and 3.125% senior notes due on October 15, 2052 are the Company’s long-term indebtedness that rank senior to the long-term subordinated notes.

In 2009, the Company had reduced its outstanding amount of long-term subordinated notes through the initiation of a cash tender offer for any and all of the long-term subordinated notes.

Recoveries under these collateralized reinsurance agreements with Kilimanjaro are primarily dependent on estimated industry level insured losses from covered events, as well as the geographic location of the events. The estimated

Table of Contents

industry level of insured losses is obtained from published estimates by an independent recognized authority on insured property losses. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has up to $350 million of catastrophe bond protection (“CAT Bond”) that attaches at a $48.1 billion Property Claims Services (“PCS”) Industry loss threshold. This recovery would be recognized on a pro-rata basis up to a $63.8 billion PCS Industry loss level. PCS’s current industry estimate of $49.4 billion issued in July 2023 exceeds the attachment point. The recovery under the CAT Bond, included in the Company’s financial results, is currently estimated to be $25 million, subject to further revision of the industry loss estimate.

Kilimanjaro has financed the various property catastrophe reinsurance coverages by issuing catastrophe bonds to unrelated, external investors. The proceeds from the issuance of the catastrophe bonds are held in reinsurance trusts throughout the duration of the applicable reinsurance agreements and invested solely in U.S. government money market funds with a rating of at least “AAAm” by Standard & Poor’s. The catastrophe bonds’ issue date, maturity date and amount correspond to the reinsurance agreements listed above.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in lawsuits, arbitrations and other formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, the outcomes of which will determine the Company’s rights and obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements. In some disputes, the Company seeks to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owing to it. In other matters, the Company is resisting attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. These disputes arise from time to time and are ultimately resolved through both informal and formal means, including negotiated resolution, arbitration and litigation. In all such matters, the Company believes that its positions are legally and commercially reasonable. The Company considers the statuses of these proceedings when determining its reserves for unpaid loss and LAE.

Aside from litigation and arbitrations related to these insurance and reinsurance agreements, the Company is not a party to any other material litigation or arbitration.

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company is domiciled in Bermuda and has subsidiaries and/or branches in Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Company’s Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries are exempt from income taxation under Bermuda law until 2035. The Company’s non-Bermudian subsidiaries and branches are subject to income taxation at varying rates in their respective domiciles.

The Company generally applies the estimated annualized effective tax rate (“AETR”) approach for calculating its tax provision for interim periods as prescribed by ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting. Under the AETR approach, the estimated AETR is applied to the interim year-to-date pre-tax income/(loss) to determine the income tax expense or benefit for the year-to-date period. The tax expense or benefit for the quarter represents the difference between the year-to-date tax expense or benefit for the current year-to-date period less such amount for the immediately preceding year-to-date period. Management considers the impact of all known events in its estimation of the Company’s annual pre-tax income/(loss) and AETR.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated known recognized and non-recognized subsequent events. The Company does not have any subsequent events to report.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Industry Conditions.

The worldwide insurance and reinsurance businesses are highly competitive, as well as cyclical by product and market. As a result, financial results tend to fluctuate with periods of constrained availability, higher rates and stronger profits followed by periods of abundant capacity, lower rates and constrained profitability. Competition in the types of insurance and reinsurance business that we underwrite is based on many factors, including the perceived overall financial strength of the reinsurer or insurer, ratings of the reinsurer or insurer by A.M. Best and/or Standard & Poor’s, underwriting expertise, the jurisdictions where the reinsurer or insurer is licensed or otherwise authorized, capacity and coverages offered, premiums charged, other terms and conditions of the insurance and reinsurance business offered, services offered, speed of claims payment and reputation and experience in lines written. Furthermore, the market impact from these competitive factors related to reinsurance and insurance is generally not consistent across lines of business, domestic and international geographical areas and distribution channels.

We compete in the U.S., Bermuda and international insurance and reinsurance markets with numerous global competitors. Our competitors include independent reinsurance and insurance companies, subsidiaries or affiliates of established worldwide insurance companies, reinsurance departments of certain insurance companies, domestic and international underwriting operations, including underwriting syndicates at Lloyd’s of London and certain government sponsored risk transfer vehicles. Some of these competitors have greater financial resources than we do and have established long-term and continuing business relationships, which can be a significant competitive advantage. In addition, the lack of strong barriers to entry into the reinsurance business and recently, the securitization of insurance and reinsurance risks through capital markets provide additional sources of potential reinsurance and insurance capacity and competition.

Worldwide insurance and reinsurance market conditions historically have been competitive. Generally, there is ample insurance and reinsurance capacity relative to demand, as well as additional capital from the capital markets through insurance linked financial instruments. These financial instruments such as side cars, catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance funds, provide capital markets with access to insurance and reinsurance risk exposure. The capital markets demand for these products is primarily driven by the desire to achieve greater risk diversification and potentially higher returns on their investments. This competition generally has a negative impact on rates, terms and conditions; however, the impact varies widely by market and coverage. Based on recent competitive behaviors in the insurance and reinsurance industry, natural catastrophe events and the macroeconomic backdrop, there has been dislocation in the market which has had a positive impact on rates and terms and conditions, generally, though specifics in local markets can vary.

Specifically, recent market conditions in property, particularly catastrophe excess of loss, have resulted in rate increases. As a result of the rate increases, most of the lines within property have been affected. Other casualty lines have been experiencing modest rate increases, while some lines such as workers’ compensation and directors and officers liability have been experiencing softer market conditions. The impact on pricing conditions is likely to change depending on the line of business and geography.

Our capital position remains a source of strength, with high-quality invested assets, significant liquidity and a low operating expense ratio. Our diversified global platform with its broad mix of products, distribution and geography is resilient.

The war in the Ukraine is ongoing and an evolving event. Economic and legal sanctions have been levied against Russia, specific named individuals and entities connected to the Russian government, as well as businesses located in the Russian Federation and/or owned by Russian nationals in numerous countries, including the United States. The significant political and economic uncertainty surrounding the war and associated sanctions have impacted economic and investment markets both within Russia and around the world.

Revenues.

Premiums. Gross written premiums increased by 21.3% to $4.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a $565 million, or 25.7%, increase in our reinsurance business and a $168 million, or 13.5%, increase in our insurance business. The increase in reinsurance premiums was primarily due to increases across all lines of business. The increase in insurance premiums was primarily

Table of Contents

due to growth in property/short tail business, specialty casualty business and other specialty lines of business. Gross written premiums increased by 19.4% to $7.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a $1.0 billion, or 23.2%, increase in our reinsurance business and a $274 million, or 12.2%, increase in our insurance business. The increase in reinsurance premiums was primarily due to increases in property pro rata business, casualty pro rata business, property catastrophe excess of loss business and financial lines of business. The increase in insurance premiums reflects growth across most lines of business driven by positive rate and exposure increases, new business and strong renewal retention.

Net written premiums increased by 21.6% to $3.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net written premiums increased by 20.1% to $7.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases were consistent with the percentage changes in gross written premiums. Premiums earned generally reflect the portion of net premiums written that was recorded as revenues for the period as the exposure periods expire. Premiums earned increased by 11.5% to $3.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Premiums earned increased by 11.3% to $6.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Other Income (Expense). We recorded other income of $38 million and other expense of $71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recorded other expense of $42 million and other expense of $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The changes were primarily the result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We recognized foreign currency exchange income of $36 million and foreign currency expense of $74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recognized foreign currency exchange expense of $49 million and $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Incurred losses and LAE increased by 4.5% to $2.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of $141 million in current year attritional losses, partially offset by a decrease of $58 million in current year catastrophe losses. The increase in current year attritional losses was mainly due to the impact of the increase in premiums earned. The current year catastrophe losses of $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 related primarily to the 2023 Turkey earthquakes ($20 million), Typhoon Mawar ($12 million), the 2023 Italian floods ($10 million), and the 2023 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($10 million), partially offset by $30 million of reinsurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian. The $85 million of current year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to the 2022 South Africa flood ($45 million), the 2022 Canada derecho ($18 million), the 2022 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($12 million) and the 2022 Western Europe Convective storm ($10 million).

Incurred losses and LAE increased by 7.1% to $3.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of $317 million in current year attritional losses, partially offset by a decrease of $58 million in current year catastrophe losses. The increase in current year attritional losses was mainly due to the impact of the increase in premiums earned. The current year catastrophe losses of $142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 related primarily to the 2023 Turkey earthquakes ($95 million) the 2023 New Zealand storms ($45 million), Typhoon Mawar ($12 million), the 2023 Italian floods ($10 million) and the 2023 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($10 million), partially offset by $30 million of reinsurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian. The $200 million of current year catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to the 2022 Australia floods ($76 million), the 2022 South Africa flood ($45 million), the 2022 European storms ($30 million), the 2022 Canada derecho ($18 million), the 2022 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($12 million), the 2022 Western Europe Convective Storm ($10 million) and the 2022 March U.S. storms ($9 million).

Catastrophe losses and loss expenses typically have a material effect on our incurred losses and LAE results and can vary significantly from period to period. Losses from natural catastrophes contributed 0.8 percentage points to the combined ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 2.9 percentage points in the same period of 2022, and 2.2 percentage points to the combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 3.5 percentage points in the corresponding period of 2022. The Company has up to $350 million of a CAT Bond that attaches at a $48.1 billion PCS Industry loss threshold. This recovery would be recognized on a pro-rata basis up to a $63.8 billion PCS Industry loss level. PCS’s current industry estimate of $49.4 billion exceeds the attachment point. The recovery under the CAT Bond, included in the Company’s financial results, is estimated to be $25 million, subject to further revision of the industry loss estimate. In addition to the recoveries under the CAT Bond, the Company has an additional reinsurance agreement in place resulting in $5 million of recoveries related to Hurricane Ian.

Commission, Brokerage, Taxes and Fees. Commission, brokerage, taxes and fees increased by 8.8% to $686 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $630 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Commission, brokerage, taxes and fees increased by 9.0% to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increases were primarily due to the impact of the increase in premiums earned and changes in the mix of business.

Other Underwriting Expenses. Other underwriting expenses were $205 million and $170 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other underwriting expenses were $405 million and $331 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increases in other underwriting expenses were mainly due to the impact of the increases in premiums earned as well as the continued build out of our insurance operations, including an expansion of the international insurance platform.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses, which are general operating expenses that are not allocated to segments, were $17 million and $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $36 million and $29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest, Fees and Bond Issue Cost Amortization Expense. Interest, fees and other bond amortization expense was $33 million and $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest, fees and other bond amortization expense was $65 million and $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increases were mainly due to higher interest costs on the FHLBNY borrowing as a result of the rising interest rate environment. Interest expense was also impacted by the movements in the floating interest rate related to the Company’s long-term Subordinated Notes Issued 2007, which is reset quarterly per the note agreement. The floating rate was 7.71% as of June 30, 2023.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We had income tax expense of $80 million and income tax benefit of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had income tax expense of $122 million and income tax expense of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense is primarily a function of the geographic location of the Company’s pre-tax income and the statutory tax rates in those jurisdictions. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) is primarily affected by tax-exempt investment income, foreign tax credits and dividends. Variations in the ETR generally result from changes in the relative levels of pre-tax income, including the impact of catastrophe losses and net capital gains (losses), among jurisdictions with different tax rates.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. We have evaluated the tax provisions of the IRA, the most significant of which are the corporate alternative minimum tax and the share repurchase excise tax and do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our results of operations. As the IRS issues additional guidance, we will evaluate any impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Net Income (Loss).

Our net income was $670 million and $123 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our net income was $1.0 billion and $420 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These changes were primarily driven by the financial component fluctuations explained above.

Ratios.

Our combined ratio decreased by 4.1 points to 87.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 91.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and decreased by 2.3 points to 89.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 91.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The loss ratio component decreased by 4.0 points for the three months ended June 30, 2023 over the corresponding period last year primarily due to lower current year catastrophe losses and lack of losses from the war in the Ukraine in 2023. In the second quarter 2022, the Company established reserves of $45 million for losses from the war in the Ukraine in 2023. The loss ratio component decreased by 2.4 points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the corresponding period last year primarily due to lower current year catastrophe losses and no losses from the war in the Ukraine. The commission and brokerage ratio components decreased slightly to 21.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 21.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and decreased to 21.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These changes were mainly due to changes in the mix of business. The other underwriting expense ratios increased to 6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased to 6.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases were mainly due to insurance operations costs associated with the continued build out of the insurance platform.

Shareholders’ Equity.

Shareholders’ equity increased by $2.5 billion to $10.9 billion at June 30, 2023 from $8.4 billion at December 31, 2022, principally as a result of $1.4 billion from a public offering of shares, $1.0 billion of net income, $82 million of unrealized appreciation on available for sale fixed maturity portfolio net of tax and $30 million of net foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by $136 million of shareholder dividends.

Consolidated Investment Results

Net Investment Income.

Net investment income increased by 57.8% to $357 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with net investment income of $226 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase of $107 million of income from fixed maturity investments and $27 million from short-term investments and cash. Net investment income increased by 31.5% to $617 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with investment income of $469 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase of $206 million from fixed maturity investments and $44 million from short-term investments and cash, partially offset by a decline of $98 million in limited partnership income. The limited partnership income primarily reflects decreases in their reported NAVs. Accordingly, until these asset values are monetized and the resultant income is distributed, they are subject to future increases or decreases in the asset value, and the results may be volatile.

The following table shows the components of net investment income for the periods indicated.

In addition, we realized $3 million of net losses due to the disposition of investments. There were no allowances for credit losses during the second quarter of 2023.

Net gains (losses) on investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily relate to net gains from fair value adjustments on equity securities in the amount of $12 million as a result of equity market improvement during the first six months of 2023. In addition, we realized $5 million of net losses due to the disposition of investments and recorded an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $8 million primarily related to our direct holdings of Russian corporate fixed maturity securities.

Segment Results.

The Company manages its reinsurance and insurance operations as autonomous units, and key strategic decisions are based on the aggregate operating results and projections for these segments of business.

Table of Contents

The Reinsurance operation writes worldwide property and casualty reinsurance and specialty lines of business, on both a treaty and facultative basis, through reinsurance brokers, as well as directly with ceding companies. We write reinsurance business from entities chartered in the U.S., Bermuda, and Ireland, as well as through branches of those entities established in Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The Insurance operation writes property and casualty insurance directly and through brokers, surplus lines brokers and general agents within the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Europe, Singapore and South America through its offices in the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Chile, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Ireland and branches located in the Netherlands, France, Germany and Spain.

Underwriting results include earned premium less LAE incurred, commission and brokerage expenses and other underwriting expenses. We measure our underwriting results using ratios, in particular loss, commission and brokerage and other underwriting expense ratios, which, respectively, result from dividing incurred losses, commissions and brokerage and other underwriting expenses by premiums earned.

Our loss and LAE reserves are management’s best estimate of our ultimate liability for unpaid claims. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including all prior period reserves, taking into consideration all available information, and in particular, recently reported loss claim experience and trends related to prior periods. Such re-evaluations are recorded in incurred losses in the period in which re-evaluation is made.

The following discusses the underwriting results for each of our segments for the periods indicated.

Incurred losses increased by 1.3% to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $70 million in current year attritional losses, partially offset by a decrease of $53 million in current year catastrophe losses. The increase in current year attritional losses was mainly related to the impact of the increase in premiums earned. The current year catastrophe losses of $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 related primarily to the 2023 Turkey earthquakes ($20 million), Typhoon Mawar ($12 million), the 2023 Italian floods ($10 million), the 2023 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($10 million) and the 2023 New Zealand storms ($5 million), partially offset by $30 million of reinsurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ian. The $80 million of current year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to the 2022 South Africa flood ($45 million), the 2022 Canada derecho ($18 million), the 2022 Western Europe Convective storm ($10 million) and the 2022 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($7 million).

Premiums. Gross written premiums increased by 13.5% to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in insurance premiums was primarily due to increases in property/short tail business, specialty casualty business and other specialty lines of business. Net written premiums increased by 15.0% to $1.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $899 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The higher percentage change in net written premiums compared to gross written premiums is due to higher net retention resulting from changes in the mix of business. Premiums earned increased by 11.9% to $869 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $777 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Gross written premiums increased by 12.2% to $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in insurance premiums was primarily due to increases in

property/short tail business, specialty casualty business and other specialty lines of business. Net written premiums increased by 17.2% to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The higher percentage increase in net written premiums compared to gross written premiums was mainly due to higher net retention resulting from changes in the mix of business. Premiums earned increased by 15.0% to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change in premiums earned relative to net written premiums is the result of timing; premiums are earned ratably over the coverage period, whereas written premiums are recorded at the initiation of the coverage period.

Incurred losses and LAE increased by 13.3% to $560 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $494 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $71 million in current year attritional losses. The increase in current year attritional losses was primarily due to a change in mix of business and to a one-time premium adjustment, which reduced net premiums written and net premiums earned by approximately $6 million. There were no current year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $5 million of current year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 related to the 2022 2nd quarter U.S. storms.

Incurred losses and LAE increased by 16.3% to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $959 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $165 million in current

year attritional losses, partially offset by a decrease in current year catastrophe losses of $8 million. The increase in current year attritional losses was primarily due to a change in mix of business and to a one-time premium adjustment, which reduced net premiums written and net premiums earned by approximately $6 million. The current year catastrophe losses of $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the 2023 New Zealand storms. The $10 million of current year catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the 2022 March U.S. storms ($5 million) and the 2022 2nd quarter U.S. storms ($5 million).

Segment Expenses. Commission and brokerage expenses increased by 3.1% to $103 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $99 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Commission and brokerage expenses increased by 6.9% to $204 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $190 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases were mainly due to the impact of the increase in premiums earned and increased expenses related to the continued build out of the insurance business, including an expansion of the international insurance platform.

Segment other underwriting expenses increased to $143 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $117 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Segment other underwriting expenses increased to $280 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $228 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases were mainly due to the impact of the increase in premiums earned and increased expenses related to the continued build out of the insurance business, including an expansion of the international insurance platform.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Investments. Total investments were $31.5 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.0 billion compared to $28.5 billion at December 31, 2022. The rise in investments was primarily related to an increase in fixed maturities - available for sale due to an overall net purchase of $2.1 billion of fixed maturities - available for sale during the first half of 2023.

The Company’s limited partnership investments are comprised of limited partnerships that invest in private equity, private credit and private real estate. Generally, the limited partnerships are reported on a month or quarter lag. We receive annual audited financial statements for all the limited partnerships, which are prepared using fair value accounting in accordance with FASB guidance. For the quarterly reports, the Company reviews the financial reports for any unusual changes in carrying value. If the Company becomes aware of a significant decline in value during the lag reporting period, the loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline.

Reinsurance Recoverables.

Reinsurance recoverables for both paid and unpaid losses totaled $2.4 billion and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023, $470 million, or 19.8%, was receivable from Mt. Logan Re collateralized segregated accounts; $256 million, or 10.8%, was receivable from Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. and $166 million, or 7.0% was receivable from Endurance Specialty Holdings, Ltd. No other retrocessionaire accounted for more than 5% of our recoverables.

Loss and LAE Reserves. Gross loss and LAE reserves totaled $23.4 billion and $22.1 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The following tables summarize gross outstanding loss and LAE reserves by segment, classified by case reserves and IBNR reserves, for the periods indicated.

Changes in premiums earned and business mix, reserve re-estimations, catastrophe losses and changes in catastrophe loss reserves and claim settlement activity all impact loss and LAE reserves by segment and in total.

Our carried loss and LAE reserves represent management’s best estimate of our ultimate liability for unpaid claims. We continuously re-evaluate our reserves, including re-estimates of prior period reserves, taking into consideration all available information and, in particular, newly reported loss and claim experience. Changes in reserves resulting from such re-evaluations are reflected in incurred losses in the period when the re-evaluation is made. Our analytical methods and processes operate at multiple levels, including individual contracts, groupings of like contracts, classes and lines of business, internal business units, segments, accident years, legal entities, and in the aggregate. In order to set appropriate reserves, we make qualitative and quantitative analyses and judgments at these various levels. We utilize actuarial science, business expertise and management judgment in a manner intended to ensure the accuracy and consistency of our reserving practices. Management’s best estimate is developed through collaboration with actuarial, underwriting, claims, legal and finance departments and culminates with the input of reserve committees. Each segment reserve committee includes the participation of the relevant parties from actuarial, finance, claims and segment senior management and has the responsibility for recommending and approving management’s best estimate. Reserves are further reviewed by Everest’s Chief Reserving Actuary and senior management. The objective of this process is to determine a single best estimate viewed by management to be the best estimate of its ultimate loss liability. Nevertheless, our reserves are estimates, which are subject to variation, which may be significant.

There can be no assurance that reserves for, and losses from, claim obligations will not increase in the future, possibly by a material amount. However, we believe that our existing reserves and reserving methodologies lessen the probability that any such increase would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos and Environmental Exposures. Asbestos and Environmental (“A&E”) exposures represent a separate exposure group for monitoring and evaluating reserve adequacy. The following table summarizes the outstanding loss reserves with respect to A&E reserves on both a gross and net of retrocessions basis for the periods indicated.

(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Gross reserves	$	264	$	278
Ceded reserves	(17)		(21)
Net reserves	$	247	$	257

(Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

With respect to asbestos only, at June 30, 2023, we had net asbestos loss reserves of $223 million, or 90.5%, of total net A&E reserves, all of which was for assumed business.

Ultimate loss projections for A&E liabilities cannot be accomplished using standard actuarial techniques. We believe that our A&E reserves represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate liability; however, there can be no assurance that ultimate loss payments will not exceed such reserves, perhaps by a significant amount.

Industry analysts use the “survival ratio” to compare the A&E reserves among companies with such liabilities. The survival ratio is typically calculated by dividing a company’s current net reserves by the three-year average of annual paid losses. Hence, the survival ratio equals the number of years that it would take to exhaust the current reserves if future loss payments were to continue at historical levels. Using this measurement, our net three-year asbestos survival ratio was 7.0 years at June 30, 2023. These metrics can be skewed by individual large settlements occurring in the prior three years and therefore may not be indicative of the timing of future payments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital. Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $10.9 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively. Management’s objective in managing capital is to ensure its overall capital level, as well as the capital levels of its operating subsidiaries, exceed the amounts required by regulators, the amount needed to support our current financial strength ratings from rating agencies and our own economic capital models. The Company’s capital has historically exceeded these benchmark levels.

Our two main operating companies, Bermuda Re and Everest Re, are regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and the State of Delaware’s Department of Insurance, respectively. Both regulatory bodies have their own capital adequacy models based on statutory capital as opposed to GAAP basis equity. Failure to meet the required statutory capital levels could result in various regulatory restrictions, including business activity and the payment of dividends to their parent companies.

The regulatory targeted capital and the actual statutory capital for Bermuda Re and Everest Re were as follows:


	Bermuda Re (1)				Everest Re (2)
	At December 31,				At December 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021

Actual capital	$	2,759	$	3,184	$	5,553	$	5,717

(1)Regulatory targeted capital represents the target capital level from the applicable year's BSCR calculation.

(2)Regulatory targeted capital represents 200% of the RBC authorized control level calculation for the applicable year.

Our financial strength ratings as determined by A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s are important as they provide our customers and investors with an independent assessment of our financial strength using a rating scale that provides for relative comparisons. We continue to possess significant financial flexibility and access to debt and equity markets as a result of our financial strength, as evidenced by the financial strength ratings as assigned by independent rating agencies.

We maintain our own economic capital models to monitor and project our overall capital, as well as the capital at our operating subsidiaries. A key input to the economic models is projected income, and this input is continually compared to actual results, which may require a change in the capital strategy.

As part of our capital strategy, we model our potential exposure to catastrophe losses arising from a single event. Projected catastrophe losses are generally summarized in terms of probable maximum loss (“PML”). A full discussion on PMLs is included in our December 31, 2022 Form 10-K filing in PART 1, Item 1. Business, Risk Management of Underwriting and Reinsurance Arrangements. We focus on the projected net economic loss from a catastrophe in a given zone as compared to our shareholders’ equity. Economic loss is the PML exposure, net of third party reinsurance, reduced by estimated reinstatement premiums to renew coverage and estimated income taxes. In our December 31, 2022 Form 10-K, we reported that our projected net economic loss from our largest projected 100-year event represented approximately 6.9% of our December 31, 2022 shareholders’ equity. During the first half of 2023, our net exposure to catastrophes has changed due to the market conditions and business decisions. As a result, our projected net economic loss from our largest 100-year event in a given zone represents approximately 6.5% of our June 30, 2023 shareholders’ equity.

The table below reflects the Company’s PML exposure, net of third party reinsurance at various return periods for its top zones/perils (as ranked by largest 1 in 100 year economic loss) based on projection data as of July 1, 2023.

During the first half of 2023, we conducted no repurchases of our shares in the open market. We paid $136 million in dividends to adjust our capital position and enhance long-term expected returns to our shareholders. In 2022, we repurchased 241,273 shares for $61 million in the open market and paid $255 million in dividends. We may at times enter into a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan agreement to facilitate the repurchase of shares or conduct such repurchases under an arrangement that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b-18. On May 22, 2020, our existing Board authorization to purchase up to 30 million of our shares was amended to authorize the purchase of up to 32 million shares. As of June 30, 2023, we had repurchased 30.8 million shares under this authorization.

We may continue, from time to time, to seek to retire portions of our outstanding debt securities through cash repurchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be subject to and depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

On May 19, 2023, the Company completed the public offering of 4,140,000 common shares, which includes full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 540,000 common shares, at a public offering price of $360.00 per share. Total net proceeds from the public offering were $1,445 million, after underwriting discount and expenses. The

Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for long-term reinsurance opportunity and continuing build out of the global insurance business.

Liquidity. Our liquidity requirements are generally met from positive cash flow from operations. Positive cash flow results from reinsurance and insurance premiums being collected prior to disbursements for claims, which disbursements generally take place over an extended period after the collection of premiums, sometimes a period of many years. Collected premiums are generally invested, prior to their use in such disbursements, and investment income provides additional funding for loss payments. Our net cash flows from operating activities were $2.2 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, these cash flows reflected net catastrophe loss payments of $458 million and $377 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and net tax payments of $73 million and $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

If disbursements for losses and LAE, policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses were to exceed premium inflows, cash flow from reinsurance and insurance operations would be negative. The effect on cash flow from insurance operations would be partially offset by cash flow from investment income. Additionally, cash inflows from investment maturities of both short-term investments and longer term maturities are available to supplement other operating cash flows. We do not expect to supplement negative insurance operations cash flows with investment dispositions.

As the timing of payments for losses and LAE cannot be predicted with certainty, we maintain portfolios of long-term invested assets with varying maturities, along with short-term investments that provide additional liquidity for payment of claims. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held cash and short-term investments of $3.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively. Our short-term investments are generally readily marketable and can be converted to cash. In addition to these cash and short-term investments, at June 30, 2023, we had $1.6 billion of available for sale fixed maturity securities maturing within one year or less, $7.8 billion maturing within one to five years and $5.7 billion maturing after five years. We believe that these fixed maturity securities, in conjunction with the short-term investments and positive cash flow from operations, provide ample sources of liquidity for the expected payment of losses and LAE in the near future. We do not anticipate selling a significant amount of securities to pay losses and LAE. At June 30, 2023, we had $1.8 billion of net pre-tax unrealized depreciation related to fixed maturity - available for sale securities, comprised of $1.9 billion of pre-tax unrealized depreciation and $63 million of pre-tax unrealized appreciation.

Management generally expects annual positive cash flow from operations, which reflects the strength of overall pricing. However, given catastrophic events observed in recent periods, cash flow from operations may decline and could become negative in the near term as significant claim payments are made related to the catastrophes. However, as indicated above, the Company has ample liquidity to settle its catastrophe claims and/or any payments due for its catastrophe bond program.

In addition to our cash flows from operations and liquid investments, we also have multiple active credit facilities that provide commitments of up to $1.5 billion of collateralized standby letters of credit to support business written by our Bermuda operating subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has the ability to request access to an additional $440 million of uncommitted credit facilities, which would require approval from the applicable lender. There is no guarantee the uncommitted capacity will be available to us on a future date. See Note 7 – Credit Facilities for further details.

Market Sensitive Instruments.

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Financial Reporting Release #48 requires registrants to clarify and expand upon the existing financial statement disclosure requirements for derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments and other financial instruments (collectively, “market sensitive instruments”). We do not generally enter into market sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

Our current investment strategy seeks to maximize after-tax income through a high quality, diversified, fixed maturity portfolio, while maintaining an adequate level of liquidity. Our mix of investments is adjusted periodically, consistent with our current and projected operating results and market conditions. The fixed maturity securities in the investment portfolio are comprised of non-trading securities. Additionally, we have invested in equity securities.

The overall investment strategy considers the scope of present and anticipated Company operations. In particular, estimates of the financial impact resulting from non-investment asset and liability transactions, together with our capital structure and other factors, are used to develop a net liability analysis. This analysis includes estimated payout characteristics for which our investments provide liquidity. This analysis is considered in the development of specific investment strategies for asset allocation, duration and credit quality. The change in overall market sensitive risk exposure principally reflects the asset changes that took place during the period.

Interest Rate Risk. Our $33.5 billion investment portfolio at June 30, 2023 is principally comprised of fixed maturity securities, which are generally subject to interest rate risk and some foreign currency exchange rate risk, and some equity securities, which are subject to price fluctuations and some foreign exchange rate risk. The overall economic impact of the foreign exchange risks on the investment portfolio is partially mitigated by changes in the dollar value of foreign currency denominated liabilities and their associated income statement impact.

Interest rate risk is the potential change in value of the fixed maturity securities portfolio, including short-term investments, from a change in market interest rates. In a declining interest rate environment, interest rate risk includes prepayment risk on the $4.4 billion of mortgage-backed securities in the $25.3 billion fixed maturity portfolio. Prepayment risk results from potential accelerated principal payments that shorten the average life and thus the expected yield of the security.

The table below displays the potential impact of market value fluctuations and after-tax unrealized appreciation on our fixed maturity portfolio (including $1.7 billion of short-term investments) for the period indicated based on upward and downward parallel and immediate 100 and 200 basis point shifts in interest rates. For legal entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency, this modeling was performed on each security individually. To generate appropriate price estimates on mortgage-backed securities, changes in prepayment expectations under different interest rate environments were taken into account. For legal entities with a non-U.S. dollar functional currency, the effective duration of the involved portfolio of securities was used as a proxy for the market value change under the various interest rate change scenarios.

We had $23.4 billion and $22.1 billion of gross reserves for losses and LAE as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts are recorded at their nominal value, as opposed to present value, which would reflect a discount adjustment to reflect the time value of money. Since losses are paid out over a period of time, the present value of the reserves is less than the nominal value. As interest rates rise, the present value of the reserves decreases and, conversely, as interest rates decline, the present value increases. These movements are the opposite of the interest rate impacts on the fair value of investments. While the difference between present value and nominal value is not reflected in our financial statements, our financial results will include investment income over time from the investment portfolio until the claims are paid. Our loss and loss reserve obligations have an expected duration of approximately 3.8 years, which is reasonably consistent with our fixed income portfolio. If we were to discount our loss and LAE reserves, net of ceded reserves, the discount would be approximately $3.8 billion resulting in a discounted reserve balance of approximately $17.4 billion, representing approximately 64.5% of the value of the fixed maturity investment portfolio funds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the potential change in fair value of the common stock, preferred stock and mutual fund portfolios arising from changing prices. Our equity investments consist of a diversified portfolio of individual securities and mutual funds, which invest principally in high quality common and preferred stocks that are traded on the major exchanges, and mutual fund investments in emerging market debt. The primary objective of the equity portfolio is to obtain greater total return relative to our core bonds over time through market appreciation and income.

The table below displays the impact on fair value and after-tax change in fair value of a 10% and 20% change in equity prices up and down for the period indicated.


	Impact of Percentage Change in Equity Fair Values At June 30, 2023
(Dollars in millions)	-20%		-10%		0%		10%		20%
Fair Value of the Equity Portfolio	$	208	$	233	$	259	$	285	$	311
After-tax Change in Fair Value	$	(42)	$	(21)	$	—	$	21	$	42

Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the potential change in value, income and cash flow arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Each of our non-U.S./Bermuda (“foreign”) operations maintains capital in

the currency of the country of its geographic location consistent with local regulatory guidelines. Each foreign operation may conduct business in its local currency, as well as the currency of other countries in which it operates. The primary foreign currency exposures for these foreign operations are the Canadian Dollar, the Singapore Dollar, the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. We mitigate foreign exchange exposure by generally matching the currency and duration of our assets to our corresponding operating liabilities. In accordance with FASB guidance, the impact on the fair value of available for sale fixed maturities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in relation to functional currency, is reflected as part of other comprehensive income. Conversely, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in relation to functional currency, on other assets and liabilities is reflected through net income as a component of other income (expense). In addition, we translate the assets, liabilities and income of non-U.S. dollar functional currency legal entities to the U.S. dollar. This translation amount is reported as a component of other comprehensive income.
