PEMBROKE, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2025-- Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited (“Fidelis” or “FIHL” or “the Group”) (NYSE: FIHL) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Dan Burrows, Group Chief Executive Officer of Fidelis Insurance Group, commented: “We have continued to successfully execute on our strategy of balancing the pursuit of profitable underwriting opportunities with returning meaningful capital to shareholders.

"Year-to-date, we grew gross premiums written by 9%, reflecting our focus on targeted deployment of capacity into areas of higher margin in what remains a favorable trading environment. Our exposure to the Russia-Ukraine lessor policy aviation litigation is now firmly behind us, and with any remaining exposure being insignificant, we can now draw a line under this event. Excluding the impact of this litigation, we would be outperforming our through-the-cycle targets with a combined ratio in the mid-70s for the quarter and significantly surpassing our ROAE target.

“With our recently announced expansion of our capital management initiatives, including the $200 million renewal of our share repurchase program and increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.15 per share, we have enhanced flexibility to capitalize on the considerable dislocation in our current share price. By coupling our capital management initiatives with our continued ability to take advantage of accretive growth opportunities and optimize reinsurance purchases, we are confident we will continue delivering attractive returns for our shareholders."

The following table details key financial indicators in evaluating our performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Insurance Segment

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment’s underwriting results:

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our GPW increased due to increases in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business and Political Risk, Violence & Terror line of business.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our GPW increased primarily due to new business opportunities, including newly onboarded third-party partnerships, in the Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit and Cyber lines of business. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Aviation & Aerospace line of business, where certain deals did not meet our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our net premiums earned ("NPE") increased due to earnings from higher net premiums written in the current and prior year periods.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased due to higher variable commissions in certain lines of business as a result of favorable prior period development, and changes in the mix of business written and ceded.

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our loss ratio in the Insurance segment increased by 13.4 points and 11.5 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 3.8 points compared to the prior year period due to a higher level of small losses in the current year period. The attritional loss ratio in the six months ended June 30, 2025, improved by 1.9 points compared to the prior year period due to a lower level of small losses in the current year period.

The catastrophe and large losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were primarily attributable to our Aviation & Aerospace line of business, related to Air India, and our Property line of business, related to two loss events. This compared to the prior period catastrophe and large losses related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business and by events in our Property line of business, the largest of which was the catastrophic tornados in Oklahoma and surrounding states together with other smaller losses.

The catastrophe and large losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the California wildfires in our Property line of business, together with other losses in our Other Insurance, Aviation & Aerospace, and Property lines of business. This compared to the prior period catastrophe and large losses related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business, losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, severe convective storms in the Property line of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, adverse prior year development was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase relates in large part to the judgment handed down by the English High Court within the quarter in respect of the Russia-Ukraine aviation litigation. The increase was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property line of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 adverse prior year development was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase includes the impact of the settlement of certain aviation litigation related claims during the year, as well as the judgment handed down by the English High Court. The increase was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property and Other Insurance lines of business.

The favorable prior year development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by better than expected loss emergence in the Other Insurance, Marine and Property lines of business.

Reinsurance Segment

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s underwriting results:

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, GPW decreased primarily due to certain programs not meeting our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles, while NPE increased driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current and prior year periods.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our GPW increased primarily due to reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires, as well as growth from new business, while NPE increased from the acceleration of earnings on contracts with exposure to the California wildfires.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased primarily due to changes in ceded premium and commissions earned from outwards reinsurance partners. Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2025 remained consistent with the prior year period.

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses:

The attritional loss ratio in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, improved by 2.3 points and 2.0 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to the current year having fewer attritional losses.

The catastrophe and large losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were a result of an updated estimate of outwards reinsurance recoveries. The catastrophe and large losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were attributable to the California wildfires. This compared to no material catastrophe and large losses in the prior periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, favorable prior year development was driven by positive development on catastrophe losses and benign prior year attritional experience.

We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment.

The Fidelis Partnership Commissions

The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the decrease in The Fidelis Partnership commissions ratio was driven by our mix of business and no profit commissions being earned in 2025 as the operating profit did not achieve the required hurdle rate of return, as outlined in the Framework Agreement.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $22.3 million and $44.3 million, respectively (2024: $24.4 million and $48.0 million, respectively). The decrease was driven primarily by lower variable compensation as a result of the Group's performance.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income includes investment income net of investment expenses. Our net investment income in the three months ended June 30, 2025 remained consistent with the prior year period as a result of stable investable assets and investment yields. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in net investment income resulted from an increase in investable assets over the prior year period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased $487.6 million and $856.4 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.5% and 4.7%, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold $668.5 million and $1,310.6 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively.

Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses)

The net realized and unrealized investment gains in the three months ended June 30, 2025, resulted from unrealized gains on other investments of $4.5 million related to our strategic deployment of assets into a diversified hedge fund portfolio. The net realized and unrealized investment gains in the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulted from unrealized gains on other investments of $5.6 million as result of our strategic deployment of assets into a diversified hedge fund portfolio, and a reduction in provision for current expected credit losses.

The Ukraine Conflict

The adverse development for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase relates in large part to the judgment handed down by the English High Court within the quarter in respect of the Russia-Ukraine aviation litigation. The increase includes the estimated impact of the interest and on account payment towards costs awards that will be determined by the English High Court at a further consequentials hearing scheduled for September 2025.

For further information, please see our Form 6-K filing with the SEC dated June 11, 2025 regarding the judgment.

Debt Issuance

On June 13, 2025, FIHL completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Fixed-Rate Reset Subordinated Notes due 2055 (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Group received net proceeds of approximately $393.3 million from the offering of the Subordinated Notes after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. A portion of the net proceeds from this offering were used for the redemption of our Series A Preference Shares and we intend to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes.

Share Repurchases

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 5,484,838 and 6,923,116, common shares, respectively, for an aggregate of $88.7 million and $110.8 million, respectively, excluding expenses, at an average price of $16.17 and $16.01 per common share, respectively, pursuant to our share repurchase authorization. Included in common shares repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was a repurchase of 3,109,452 common shares from CVC Falcon Holdings Limited, a longstanding shareholder, for $50.0 million in a privately negotiated transaction. This resulted in a prorata repurchase of 340,711 common shares from The Fidelis Partnership for $5.5 million. The unutilized amount of the share repurchase authorization at June 30, 2025, was $33.8 million.

On August 6, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a renewal in our share repurchase authorization, increasing the total authorization to $200.0 million.

Dividend Announcement

On August 6, 2025, we announced (i) an increase to the existing dividend program under which FIHL intends to pay a quarterly cash dividend and (ii) that our Board of Directors has approved and declared a dividend of $0.15 per share payable on September 26, 2025, to common shareholders of record on September 16, 2025.
