Non GAAP Financial Measures  • In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed in this presentation certain non generally accepted accounting principles (“non GAAP”) financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission . Management believes that these non GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business . However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) .  • Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per Share: In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that showing operating earnings enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to more easily analyze our results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes our underlying business performance . Operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Operating earnings are an internal performance measure used in the management of our operations and represents operating results excluding, as applicable, realized investment gains or losses, foreign exchange gain or loss, the amortization of intangible assets and non cash deferred tax expenses . We also exclude certain non recurring expenditures that are material to understanding our results of operations . For 2011 and 2010, we exclude transaction expenses related to the IIS Acquisition as these are non recurring . In 2011, as a result of the Senior Notes Offering, we exclude the junior subordinated debt repurchase expense and the accelerated amortization of junior subordinated debt discount and issuance costs, as both are nonrecurring . We exclude net realized investment gains or losses and foreign exchange gain or loss as we believe that both are heavily influenced in part by market opportunities and other factors. We do not believe amortization of intangible assets are representative of our ongoing business . We believe all of these amounts are largely independent of our business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations .  • Operating Return on Equity ("Operating ROE"): Management uses operating return on average shareholders' equity as a measure of profitability that focuses on the return to common shareholders . It is calculated using operating earnings available to common shareholders (realized gains or losses on investments, foreign exchange gains and losses, amortization of intangibles, and amortization of intangible assets) divided by average common shareholders' equity. In calculating and presenting Operating ROE, amounts for 2011 are annualized as follows: the operating earnings for the period as defined above is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized operating earnings . Management has set as a target a long term average of 15% Operating ROE, which management believes provides an attractive return to shareholders for the risk assumed .  • See slide 14 for a reconciliation of non GAAP measures used in this presentation to their most directly comparable GAAP measures .  13
