Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement:

Shareholders’ equity and book value per common share at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 and annualized ROE percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The adoption of this guidance decreased shareholders’ equity by $181 million as of December 31, 2011. The effect of the adoption of the new guidance on net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was a decrease of $12 million and $22 million, respectively.

(1) (Gains) losses from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP are reclassified from Other income (expense) for purposes of presenting Life underwriting income. The offsetting movement in the separate account liabilities is included in Policy benefits.
(2) We assess the performance of our Life business based on Life underwriting income which includes Net investment income and (Gains) losses from fair value changes in separate account assets.

Mortgage-backed securities total $12.7 billion, are rated predominantly AA and comprise 23% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 32% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage-backed securities is AA for agency mortgages and AAA for non-agency mortgages.

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $10.9 billion and represent 95% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 47,000 loans. The portfolio’s original loan-to-value ratio is approximately 67% with an average FICO score of 730. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 5%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 15% before principal is significantly impaired. The foreclosure rate of ACE's non-agency RMBS portfolio at June 30, 2012 was 8%.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $1.2 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 13,000 loans and seasoned with 47% of the portfolio issued before 2006 and 38% of the portfolio issued after 2009. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 64% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.9 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 30%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 42% before principal is impaired. The foreclosure rate of ACE's commercial mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 2012 was about 2.3%.

U.S. Below Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.

Six external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation. The portfolio comprises over 750 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $95 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

Derivative and structured securities (e.g., credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

  

 

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per common share is provided on page 23.

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses). Life underwriting income includes net investment income and gains (losses) from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP.

Loss and loss expense ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period development (PPD) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The loss ratio numerator includes Losses and loss expenses adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses and PPD. The loss ratio denominator includes Net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net earned premiums when calculating this ratio. We believe that excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD provides a better evaluation of our core underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

Annualized ROE calculated using income excluding net realized gains (losses) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ROE numerator includes income adjusted to exclude net realized gains (losses), net of tax. The ROE denominator includes the average shareholders’ equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of tax. To annualize a quarterly rate, multiply by four. Annualized ROE calculated using income excluding realized gains (losses), net of tax, is a useful measure as it enhances the understanding of the return on shareholders' equity by highlighting the underlying profitability relative to shareholders' equity excluding the effect of unrealized gains and losses on our investments.

Income excluding net realized gains (losses), net of tax, is a common performance measurement for insurance companies and non-GAAP measure. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
