ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. REPORTS 2011 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

HAMILTON, BERMUDA, July 25, 2011 — Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACGL) reports that net income available to common shareholders for the 2011 second quarter was $91.9 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to $237.0 million, or $1.48 per share, for the 2010 second quarter. The Company also reported after-tax operating income available to common shareholders of $61.5 million, or $0.45 per share, for the 2011 second quarter, compared to $132.2 million, or $0.83 per share, for the 2010 second quarter. All earnings per share amounts discussed in this release are on a diluted basis. All information in this release has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-one share split effected in May 2011.

The Company’s book value per common share was $31.00 at June 30, 2011, a 2.2% increase from $30.34 per share at March 31, 2011 and a 3.4% increase from $29.99 per share at December 31, 2010. The Company’s after-tax operating income available to common shareholders represented a 6.1% annualized return on average common equity for the 2011 second quarter, compared to 13.0% for the 2010 second quarter. After-tax operating income available to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income available to common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses, net of income taxes. See page 7 for a further discussion of after-tax operating income available to common shareholders and Regulation G.

The Company’s 2011 second quarter results included losses for current year catastrophic events of $95.0 million, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, compared to $7.0 million in the 2010 second quarter. The 2011 second quarter amounts included $81.5 million for catastrophic events that occurred in the period, including the severe weather that hit the U.S. during April and May 2011, the New Zealand Earthquake and other events, and $13.5 million related to increases in loss estimates on the 2011 first quarter events. The Company’s preliminary estimates for these events are based on currently available information derived from modeling techniques, industry assessments of exposure, preliminary claims information obtained from the Company’s clients and brokers to date and a review of in-force contracts. The Company’s actual losses from these events may vary materially from the estimates due to the inherent uncertainties in making such determinations resulting from several factors, including the preliminary nature of available information, the potential inaccuracies and inadequacies in the data provided by clients and brokers, the modeling techniques and the application of such techniques, the contingent nature of business interruption exposures, the effects of any resultant demand surge on claims activity and attendant coverage issues. In addition, actual losses may increase if the Company’s reinsurers fail to meet their obligations to the Company or the reinsurance protections purchased by the Company are exhausted or are otherwise unavailable.

The following table summarizes the Company’s underwriting results:

The following table summarizes, on an after-tax basis, the Company’s consolidated financial data, including a reconciliation of after-tax operating income available to common shareholders to net income available to common shareholders and related diluted per share results:

The combined ratio represents a measure of underwriting profitability, excluding investment income, and is the sum of the loss ratio and expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% represents an underwriting profit and a combined ratio over 100% represents an underwriting loss. For the 2011 second quarter, the combined ratio of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries consisted of a loss ratio of 67.1% and an underwriting expense ratio of 32.5%, compared to a loss ratio of 58.3% and an underwriting expense ratio of 31.7% for the 2010 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the combined ratio of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries consisted of a loss ratio of 72.5% and an underwriting expense ratio of 32.3%, compared to a loss ratio of 61.2% and an underwriting expense ratio of 32.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

In establishing the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, the Company has made various assumptions relating to the pricing of its reinsurance contracts and insurance policies and also has considered available historical industry experience and current industry conditions. Any estimates and assumptions made as part of the reserving process could prove to be inaccurate due to several factors, including the fact that relatively limited historical information has been reported to the Company through June 30, 2011. As actual loss information is reported to the Company and it develops its own loss experience, the Company will give more emphasis to other actuarial techniques. For a discussion of underwriting activities and a review of the Company’s results by operating segment, see “Segment Information” in the Supplemental Financial Information section of this release.

The Company’s investment portfolio continues to be comprised primarily of high quality fixed income securities with an average credit quality of “AA+.” The average effective duration of the investment portfolio was 2.87 years at June 30, 2011, compared to 2.73 years at March 31, 2011 and 2.83 years at December 31, 2010. Including the effects of foreign exchange, total return on the Company’s investment portfolio was approximately 1.65% for the 2011 second quarter, compared to 1.74% for the 2010 second quarter, and 3.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 3.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, total return was 1.54% for the 2011 second quarter, compared to 2.22% for the 2010 second quarter, and 2.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 4.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net investment income for the 2011 second quarter was $86.7 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to $90.5 million, or $0.57 per share, for the 2010 second quarter. The comparability of net investment income between the 2011 and 2010 periods was influenced by the Company’s share repurchase program described below. The pre-tax investment income yield was 3.06% for the 2011 second quarter, compared to 3.43% for the 2010 second quarter, and 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 3.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The lower yields in the 2011 periods primarily reflect the effects of lower prevailing interest rates available in the market. Consolidated cash flow provided by operating activities for the 2011 second quarter was $222.0 million, compared to $205.5 million for the 2010 second quarter, and $446.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $390.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The higher level of operating cash flows in the 2011 periods resulted, in part, from the timing of dividend receipts on other investments and the timing of certain expense payments.

As indicated in the 2011 first quarter, the Company expected to incur a loss in the range of $8 to $12 million on its investment in Aeolus LP, which operates as an unrated reinsurance platform that provides collateralized property catastrophe protection to insurers and reinsurers on both an ultimate net loss and industry loss warranty basis, based on information that was available at such time. The actual loss recorded by the Company in the 2011 second quarter and included in “other income (loss)” was $4.8 million, reflecting lower than anticipated losses related to the 2011 first quarter catastrophic events.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s effective tax rates on income before income taxes and pre-tax operating income were a benefit of 1.7% and 2.7%, respectively, compared to an expense of 1.7% and 2.0%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The reduction in the annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Company’s per share results. The Company’s effective tax rates may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income reported by jurisdiction primarily due to the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction. The Company’s quarterly tax provision is adjusted to reflect changes in its expected annual effective tax rate, if any. In addition, the Company’s Bermuda-based reinsurer incurs federal excise taxes for premiums assumed on U.S. risks. The Company incurred $5.0 million of federal excise taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Such amounts are reflected as acquisition expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Net foreign exchange losses for the 2011 second quarter were $18.4 million (net unrealized losses of $18.7 million and net realized gains of $0.3 million), compared to net foreign exchange gains for the 2010 second

3

quarter of $48.6 million (net unrealized gains of $49.1 million and net realized losses of $0.5 million). Net foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $55.3 million (net unrealized losses of $55.7 million and net realized gains of $0.4 million), compared to net foreign exchange gains for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $87.2 million (net unrealized gains of $87.0 million and net realized gains of $0.2 million).

Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses result from the effects of revaluing the Company’s net insurance liabilities required to be settled in foreign currencies at each balance sheet date. Historically, the Company has held investments in foreign currencies which are intended to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in its net insurance liabilities. However, changes in the value of such investments due to foreign currency rate movements are reflected as a direct increase or decrease to shareholders’ equity and are not included in the consolidated statements of income. As a result of the current financial and economic environment as well as the potential for additional investment returns, the Company may not match a portion of its projected liabilities in foreign currencies with investments in the same currencies, which could increase the Company’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and increase the volatility of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

During the 2011 second quarter, the Company repurchased 0.9 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29.6 million under its share repurchase program. Since the inception of the share repurchase program through June 30, 2011, ACGL has repurchased 104.1 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2.54 billion. At June 30, 2011, $962.8 million of repurchases were available under the share repurchase program.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s capital of $4.84 billion consisted of $300.0 million of senior notes, representing 6.2% of the total, $100.0 million of revolving credit agreement borrowings due in August 2011, representing 2.1% of the total, $325.0 million of preferred shares, representing 6.7% of the total, and common shareholders’ equity of $4.12 billion, representing the balance. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s capital of $4.91 billion consisted of $300.0 million of senior notes, representing 6.1% of the total, $100.0 million of revolving credit agreement borrowings due in August 2011, representing 2.0% of the total, $325.0 million of preferred shares, representing 6.6% of the total, and common shareholders’ equity of $4.2 billion, representing the balance.

Comment on Regulation G

Throughout this release, the Company presents its operations in the way it believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use the Company’s financial information in evaluating the performance of the Company. This presentation includes the use of after-tax operating income available to common shareholders, which is defined as net income available to common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses included in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses, net of income taxes. The presentation of after-tax operating income available to common shareholders is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measure to net income available to common shareholders (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in accordance with Regulation G is included on page 2 of this release.

The Company believes that net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses included in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance. Although net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses included in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses are an integral part of the Company’s operations, the decision to realize investment gains or losses, the recognition of net impairment losses, the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and the recognition of foreign exchange gains or losses are independent of the insurance underwriting process and result, in large part, from general economic and financial market conditions. Furthermore, certain users of the Company’s financial information believe that, for many companies, the timing of the realization of investment gains or losses is largely opportunistic. In addition, net impairment losses included in earnings on the Company’s investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization. The use of the equity method on certain of the Company’s investments in certain funds that invest in fixed maturity securities 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 the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the fair value of the underlying securities in the funds). This method of accounting is different from the way the Company accounts for its other fixed maturity securities 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. Due to these reasons, the Company excludes 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 from the calculation of after-tax operating income available to common shareholders.

The Company believes that showing net income available to common shareholders exclusive of the items referred to above reflects the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s business since the Company evaluates the performance of and manages its business to produce an underwriting profit. In addition to presenting net income available to common shareholders, the Company believes that this presentation enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze the Company’s performance in a manner similar to how the Company’s management analyzes performance. The Company also believes that this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, allows the users of the Company’s financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group. The Company believes that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow the Company and the insurance industry as a whole generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons.

Share Repurchase Activity

(1)          The estimated impact on diluted earnings per share was calculated comparing reported results versus (i) after-tax operating income per share plus an estimate of lost net investment income on the cumulative share repurchases divided by (ii) weighted average diluted shares outstanding excluding the weighted average impact of cumulative share repurchases. The impact of cumulative share repurchases was accretive to diluted earnings per share in the periods presented.

(2)          As the cumulative average price per share of shares repurchased through June 30, 2011 was lower than the ending book value per common share, the repurchase of shares increased ending book value per common share.

8

Investment Information

(1)   Includes interest on term loan investments (included in “investments accounted for using the fair value option”), dividends on investment funds and other items.

(2)   Investment income yield calculations exclude the impact of investments for which returns are not included within investment income, such as investments accounted for using the equity method and certain equities.

9

Segment Information

The following section provides analysis on the Company’s 2011 second quarter performance by operating segment. For additional details regarding the Company’s operating segments, please refer to the Company’s Financial Supplement dated June 30, 2011 on the Company’s website at http://www.archcapgroup.bm/EarningsReleases.aspx.

Insurance Segment

Gross premiums written by the insurance segment in the 2011 second quarter were 3.0% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, while net premiums written were 3.6% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, reflecting increases in property and energy business as well as in program business. Such amounts were partially offset by reductions in commercial aviation and professional liability business. The increase in property premiums primarily resulted from new business and a higher retention rate on existing accounts in the insurance segment’s U.S. operations and growth in the insurance segment’s European operations in both global property and energy lines. The increase in program business resulted from growth on existing programs. The reduction in commercial aviation business primarily resulted from a strategic decision to exit the business in early 2010 while the lower level of professional liability business was due to market conditions. Net premiums earned by the insurance segment in the 2011 second quarter were 1.3% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters.

The 2011 second quarter loss ratio reflected 8.0 points for current year catastrophic event activity, compared to 0.8 points in the 2010 second quarter. Estimated net favorable development, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 1.8 points in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 1.9 points in the 2010 second quarter. The estimated net favorable development in the 2011 second quarter primarily resulted from better than expected claims emergence in property and other short-tail lines.

The underwriting expense ratio was 34.7% in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 33.6% in the 2010 second quarter. The acquisition expense ratio was 16.0% in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 15.9% in the 2010 second quarter, while the operating expense ratio was 18.7% in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 17.7% in the 2010 second quarter. The operating expense ratio reflected an increase in aggregate expenses in the 2011 second quarter, including 0.3 points related to the expansion of the insurance segment’s accident and health business. In addition, the higher operating expense ratio reflected approximately 0.2 points related to changes in foreign currency rates.

12

Reinsurance Segment

Gross premiums written by the reinsurance segment in the 2011 second quarter were 36.4% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, while net premiums written were 33.2% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, reflecting increases in property catastrophe, other specialty and marine lines. Roughly half of the increase in property catastrophe business resulted from share increases, new business and reinstatement premiums while the other half resulted from the renewal of an account in the 2011 second quarter which was written on a two-year basis in the 2009 second quarter. Growth in other specialty business primarily resulted from new business written in the 2011 second quarter while the increase in marine business resulted from both new business and increased writings on existing accounts. Premiums written in casualty and property other than property catastrophe lines were lower than in the 2010 second quarter, reflecting non-renewals and share reductions based on market conditions. Net premiums earned in the 2011 second quarter were 6.7% higher than in the 2010 second quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters, including the mix and type of business written.

The 2011 second quarter loss ratio included 26.8 points related to current year catastrophic activity, compared to 1.7 points in the 2010 second quarter. Estimated net favorable development, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 21.9 points in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 13.4 points in the 2010 second quarter. The estimated net favorable development in the 2011 second quarter primarily resulted from better than expected claims emergence in property and other short-tail reserves and in casualty reserves from earlier underwriting years.

The underwriting expense ratio was 28.7% in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 28.3% in the 2010 second quarter. The acquisition expense ratio for the 2011 second quarter was 19.0%, compared to 19.4% for the 2010 second quarter. The comparison of the 2011 second quarter and 2010 second quarter acquisition expense ratios is influenced by, among other things, the mix and type of business written and earned and the level of ceding commission income. The operating expense ratio was 9.7% in the 2011 second quarter, compared to 8.9% in the 2010 second quarter, primarily reflecting a higher level of incentive compensation costs in the 2011 second quarter and reflect experience from prior underwriting years.
