THE NAVIGATORS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO NET OPERATING EARNINGS (LOSS)

(Unaudited)

In this release, we present Net Operating Earnings (Loss), which is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined in Regulation G.

Net Operating Earnings (Loss) is comprised of Net Income (Loss) excluding After-Tax Net Realized Gains (Losses), After-Tax Net Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings, and After-Tax Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our business and enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze underlying business performance in a manner similar to management. We also believe this measure follows industry practice and, therefore facilitates comparison of our performance with our peer group.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) (the nearest GAAP financial measure) to Net Operating Earnings (Loss):
