Net premiums written increased by
$377.8 million , or 37.0%, driven by the increase in gross premiums written discussed above, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums written as part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.
- Combined ratio improved by 13.7 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio,which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, improved by 15.8 percentage points, each primarily due to growth in net premiums earned and the lower level of current accident year net losses.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 12.6 percentage points due to a lower impact from large loss events in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the impact from the large loss events in the first quarter of 2023.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development in the first quarter of 2024, primarily from weather-related large losses across the 2017 to 2022 accident years, driven by better than expected loss emergence.
- Underwriting expense ratio decreased 2.9 percentage points, primarily due to:
– a 1.6 percentage point decrease in the operating expense ratio due, in part, to higher net premiums earned.
– a 1.3 percentage point decrease in the acquisition expense ratio, driven by changes in the mix of business as a result of continued relative growth in catastrophe, which has a lower acquisition expense ratio than other property, partially offset by the increase in acquisition expenses from purchase accounting adjustments related to the Validus Acquisition.

Gross premiums written increased by
$614.7 million , or 41.4%, primarily driven by the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy lines. In particular, the other specialty line of business grew by$392.4 million as compared to the first quarter of 2023.
- Net premiums written increased 44.9%, consistent with the drivers discussed for gross premiums written above.
- Combined ratio increased by 6.7 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 4.5 percentage points, each primarily due to the increase in the net claims and claim expense ratio.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increasedby3.2 percentage points. The Baltimore Bridge Collapse in the first quarter of 2024 added 4.2 points to the net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development driven by reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses from the other specialty and credit lines of business, partially offset by the impact of purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Validus Acquisition.
- Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.4 percentage points, which consisted of:
– a 0.8 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio as compared to the first quarter of 2023, due to a reduction in the benefit from override fees from a decrease in retrocessional reinsurance coverage purchased; and
– a 0.6 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio primarily due to the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Validus Acquisition.

Net investment income increased
$136.4 million , due to a combination of higher average invested assets, primarily resulting from the Validus Acquisition, and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity and short term portfolios.
-
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments decreased by
$493.1 million , principally driven by:
– Net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of
– Net realized and unrealized losses on investment-related derivatives of
-
Total investments were
$29.6 billion atMarch 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 -$29.2 billion ). Weighted average yield to maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio (excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to maturity or duration) was 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively (December 31, 2023 - 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively).
Other Items of Note |
-
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of
$244.8 million was primarily driven by:
– strong underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer; and
– strong net investment income driven by higher interest rates and higher yielding assets within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.
-
Raised partner capital of
$565.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily in DaVinci ($300.0 million ), Medici ($145.7 million ) and Fontana ($100.0 million ).
-
Returned partner capital of
$701.2 million during the first quarter of 2024, including$390.7 million of distributions from DaVinci, Vermeer, Medici and Top Layer following strong earnings across these vehicles in 2023.
-
Corporate expenses increased by
$26.4 million , primarily driven by expenses incurred in support of the Validus Acquisition.
-
Income tax expense of
$15.4 million in the current quarter, compared to$28.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by investment losses in the first quarter of 2024, compared to investment gains in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by an increase in operating income in the first quarter of 2024.
Net Negative Impact |
Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to
The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of the Company’s potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. The Company’s actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.
Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses from this catastrophe event, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of the event, the relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value Per Common Share Plus Accumulated Dividends
The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets, plus accumulated dividends.
The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. The following table is a reconciliation of book value per common share to “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” Comparative information for the prior periods presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.
