Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

  

 

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we 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 and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

We provide financial measures such as gross premiums written, net premiums written, net premiums earned, and operating income on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in these measures exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.

Adjusted net realized gains (losses) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes realized gains and losses from fair value changes on crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing will impact underwriting results. We view changes in the fair value of these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations and therefore realized gains and losses from these derivatives are reclassified to Adjusted losses and loss expenses (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted losses and loss expenses include gains and losses from fair value changes on crop derivatives. P&C loss and loss expense ratio and P&C combined ratio (both non-GAAP financial measures) include adjusted losses and loss expenses in the ratio numerator. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the GAAP combined ratio is 87.7% and the P&C combined ratio is 87.5%, including the impact of fair value changes on crop derivatives.

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). P&C underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure which includes Adjusted losses and loss expenses. Insurance – North American Agriculture underwriting income includes gains (losses) from fair value changes on crop derivatives. 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.

Operating income or income excluding adjusted net realized gains (losses), net of tax, is a common performance measurement for insurance companies and non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude adjusted 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. Operating income or income excluding adjusted net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Other income (expense) – operating is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the portion of net realized gains and losses related to unconsolidated entities from other income (expense). These gains and losses are reported as Net realized gains (losses) and represent the non-operating activities of entities where we hold more than an insignificant percentage of the investee’s shares. We exclude these gains and losses from other income (expense) to enhance the understanding of our core results of operations as they are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to market conditions.

P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses and prior period development (PPD) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio numerator includes adjusted losses and loss expenses, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses and PPD. The ratio denominator includes net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected and net earned premium adjustments on loss sensitive policies. 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.

P&C loss and loss expense ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD is a non-GAAP financial measure. The loss ratio numerator includes adjusted 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.

P&C expense ratio excluding accident and health (A&H) is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the impact of our A&H business from our consolidated expense ratio. The expense ratio for the A&H business is typically higher than our traditional P&C business, and we believe that this measure provides better comparison to our peer companies that may not have a significant A&H block of business.

Global P&C performance metrics are non-GAAP financial measures and comprise consolidated operating results (including corporate) and exclude the operating results of the company’s Life and Insurance – North American Agriculture segments. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company’s global P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the Insurance – North American Agriculture and Life segments because the results of these businesses do not always correlate with the results of our global P&C operations.

Life net premiums written and deposits collected, excluding life reinsurance, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits) are not reflected as revenues in our consolidated statements of operations in accordance with GAAP. However, we include life deposits in presenting growth in our Life business because new life deposits are an important component of production and key to our efforts to grow our business. However, we exclude results associated with life reinsurance as there is no new life reinsurance business currently being written.

Operating return on equity (ROE) or ROE calculated using operating income is an annualized non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity, as adjusted, for the period. To annualize a quarterly rate, multiply by four. Operating ROE 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.

Operating effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The numerator excludes tax on adjusted net realized gains (losses). The denominator excludes adjusted net realized gains (losses), before tax. We exclude adjusted net realized gains (losses) and the related tax impact because these amounts are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Operating effective tax rate should not be viewed as a substitute for effective tax rate determined in accordance with GAAP.

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the shares outstanding. We believe that goodwill and other intangible assets are not indicative of our underlying insurance results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. A reconciliation of tangible book value per share is provided on page 23. Tangible book value per common share excluding 2014 acquisition is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the shares outstanding. The numerator adds back the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the 2014 acquisition of The Siam Commercial Samaggi Insurance PCL in order to adjust for the distortive effect of acquisitions.
