PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including statements regarding our estimates, beliefs, expectations, intentions, strategies or projections are forward-looking statements. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the United States ("U.S.") federal securities laws. In some cases, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "should", "could", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "plan", "believe", "predict", "potential", "intend" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond management's control.

Forward-looking statements contained in this report may include, but are not limited to, information regarding our estimates for catastrophes and other weather-related losses including losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, measurements of potential losses in the fair market value of our investment portfolio and derivative contracts, our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, the outcome of our strategic initiatives including our exit from property reinsurance business, our expectations regarding pricing, ~~and~~ other market conditions and economic conditions including inflation, our growth prospects, and valuations of the potential impact of movements in interest rates, credit spreads, equity securities' prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.

Forward-looking statements only reflect our expectations and are not guarantees of performance. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•the adverse impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity;

•the cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance business leading to periods with excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates;

•the occurrence and magnitude of natural and man-made disasters;

•the impact of global climate change on our business, including the possibility that we do not adequately assess or reserve for the increased frequency and severity of natural catastrophes;

•losses from war including losses related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, terrorism and political unrest, or other unanticipated losses;

•actual claims exceeding loss reserves;

•general economic, capital and credit market conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, equity securities' prices, and/or foreign currency exchange rates;

•the adverse impact of inflation;

•the failure of any of the loss limitation methods we employ;

•the effects of emerging claims, coverage and regulatory issues, including uncertainty related to coverage definitions, limits, terms and conditions;

•the inability to purchase reinsurance or collect amounts due to us from reinsurance we have purchased;

•the loss of business provided to us by major brokers;

•breaches by third parties in our program business of their obligations to us;

•difficulties with technology and/or data security;

•the failure of our policyholders or intermediaries to pay premiums;

•the failure of our cedants to adequately evaluate risks;

•the inability to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all;

•the loss of one or more of our key executives;

•a decline in our ratings with rating agencies;

•changes in accounting policies or practices;

•the use of industry models and changes to these models;

•~~changes in governmental regulations and potential government intervention in our industry;~~

Table of Contents

•changes in governmental regulations and potential government intervention in our industry;

•inadvertent failure to comply with certain laws and regulations relating to sanctions and foreign corrupt practices;

•changes in the political environment of certain countries in which we operate or underwrite business, including the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union;

•changes in tax laws; and

•other factors including but not limited to those described under Item 1A, 'Risk Factors' in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as those factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic and other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Readers are urged to carefully consider all such factors as the COVID-19 pandemic may have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

To facilitate comparison of information across periods, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year's presentation.

(1)Asset-backed securities ("ABS") include debt tranched securities collateralized primarily by collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs").

On March 1, 2021, the Company transferred ABS with total fair value of $405 million from fixed maturities, available for sale to fixed maturities, held to maturity. These securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, were transferred in order to better align the accounting classification with their management strategy. The net unrealized gain at the date of the transfer, March 1, 2021, continues to be reported in the carrying value of the transferred securities and is amortized over the remaining life of the securities using the effective yield method.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, fixed maturities, held to maturity of ~~$494~~$641 million (2021: $446 million) were presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses of $nil (2021: $nil).

The Company's ABS, held to maturity consist of CLO debt tranched securities. The Company uses a scenario-based approach to review its CLO debt portfolio and reviews subordination levels of these securities to determine their ability to absorb credit losses of the underlying collateral. If losses are forecast to be below the subordination level for a tranche held by the Company, the security is determined not to have a credit loss. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the Company's ABS, held to maturity was $nil.

To estimate expected credit losses for corporate debt securities, held to maturity, the Company's projected cash flows are primarily driven by assumptions regarding the severity of loss, which is a function of the probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's default and recovery rates are based on credit ratings, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the Company's corporate debt, held to maturity was $nil.

The Company also invests in limited partnerships which represent ~~69%~~71% of the Company's other investments. The investments in limited partnerships include hedge funds, direct lending funds, private equity funds and real estate funds and CLO equity tranched securities, which are variable interests issued by VIEs (refer to Note 3(c) 'Other Investments').

Fixed Maturities

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~3,956~~4,683 fixed maturities (2021: 2,333) were in an unrealized loss position of ~~$410~~$780 million (2021: $94 million), of which ~~$33~~$112 million (2021: $8 million) was related to securities below investment grade or not rated.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~502~~596 fixed maturities (2021: 344) had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater and had a fair value of ~~$574~~$877 million (2021: $390 million).

The unrealized losses of ~~$410~~$780 million (2021: $94 million) were due to non-credit factors and were expected to be recovered as the related securities approach maturity.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of their amortized costs.

Total mortgage loans, held for investment	$	656,112	100	%	$	594,088	100	%

The primary credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are the debt service coverage ratio which compares a property’s net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan, (generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss) and the loan-to-value ratio which compares the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral (generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss). The debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis.

The Company has a high quality mortgage loan portfolio with a weighted average debt service coverage ratio of ~~2.6x~~2.5x (2021: 2.5x) and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of ~~60%~~59% (2021: 60%). At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there are no credit losses or past due amounts associated with the commercial mortgage loans held by the Company.

Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company's ability to redeem hedge funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the fund's net assets which may otherwise hinder the general partner or investment manager's ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, neither of these restrictions impacted the Company's redemption requests. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were no hedge fund holdings (2021: $3 million) where the Company is still within the lockup period.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had $26 million (2021: $23 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in multi-strategy hedge funds. Once the full amount of committed capital has been called by the General Partner of each of these funds, the assets will not be fully returned until after the completion of the funds' investment term. These funds have investment terms ranging from two years to the dissolution of the underlying fund.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had ~~$203~~$198 million (2021: $224 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in direct lending funds. Once the full amount of committed capital has been called by the General Partner of each of these funds, the assets will not be fully returned until the completion of the fund's investment term. These funds have investment terms ranging from four to ten years and the General Partners of certain funds have the option to extend the term by up to three years.

~~At March 31, 2022, the Company h~~ad $26 million (2021: $23 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in multi-strategy hedge funds.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had $198 million (2021: $173 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in funds which invest in real estate and real estate securities and businesses. These funds include an open-ended fund and funds with investment terms ranging from two years to the dissolution of the underlying fund.

~~At March 31, 2022, the Company had $187~~$178 million (2021: $178 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in private equity funds. The life of the funds is subject to the dissolution of the underlying funds. The Company expects the overall holding period to be over five years.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had $155 million (2021: $173 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in real estate funds. These funds include an open-ended fund and funds with investment terms ranging from two years to the dissolution of the underlying fund.

During 2015, the Company made a $50 million commitment as a limited partner of a bank revolver opportunity fund. The fund has an investment term of seven years which expires in November 2022, and the General Partners have the option to extend the term by up to two years. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, this commitment remains unfunded. It is not anticipated that the full amount of this fund will be drawn.

d) Equity Method Investments

During 2016, the Company paid $108 million including direct transaction costs to acquire 19% of the common equity of Harrington Reinsurance Holdings Limited ("Harrington"), the parent company of Harrington Re Ltd. ("Harrington Re"), an independent reinsurance company jointly sponsored by AXIS Capital and The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone"). Through long-term service agreements, AXIS Capital will serve as Harrington Re's reinsurance underwriting manager and Blackstone will serve as exclusive investment management service provider. As an investor, the Company expects to benefit from underwriting profit generated by Harrington Re and the income and capital appreciation Blackstone seeks to deliver through its investment management services. In addition, the Company has entered into an arrangement with Blackstone under which underwriting and investment related fees will be shared equally. Harrington is not a VIE that is required to be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its ownership interest in Harrington under the equity method of accounting. The Company's proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets resulted in a basis difference of $5 million which represents initial transactions costs.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants. U.S. GAAP prescribes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The level in the hierarchy within which a given fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:

•Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

•Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or for which significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company's judgments about assumptions that market participants might use.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment.

Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments categorized as Level 3. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many financial instruments. This may lead the Company to change the selection of valuation technique (from market to cash flow approach) or may cause the Company to use multiple valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. This circumstance could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Techniques

The valuation techniques, including significant inputs and assumptions generally used to determine the fair values of the Company's financial instruments as well as the classification of the fair values of its financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy are described in detail below.

Fixed Maturities

At each valuation date, the Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value of its fixed maturities portfolio, where possible. The market approach includes, but is not limited to, prices obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or comparable securities and the use of "pricing matrix models" using observable market inputs such as yield curves, credit risks and spreads, measures of volatility, and prepayment speeds. Pricing from third-party pricing services is sourced from multiple vendors, where available, and the Company maintains a vendor hierarchy by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. Where prices are unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers who are active in the corresponding markets. The valuation techniques including significant inputs and assumptions generally used to determine the fair values of the Company's fixed maturities by asset class as well as the classifications of the fair values of these securities in the fair value hierarchy are described in detail below.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

U.S. Government and Agency

U.S. government and agency securities consist primarily of bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. As the fair values of U.S. Treasury securities are based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 1. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified as Level 2.

Non-U.S. Government

Non-U.S. government securities include bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies along with supranational organizations (collectively also known as sovereign debt securities). The fair values of these securities are based on prices obtained from international indices or valuation models that include inputs such as interest rate yield curves, cross-currency basis index spreads, and country credit spreads for structures similar to the sovereign bond in terms of issuer, maturity and seniority. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-U.S. government securities are classified as Level 2.

Corporate Debt

Corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and broker-dealer quotes. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads are observable market inputs, the fair values of corporate debt securities are generally classified as Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers to estimate fair value. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 3.

Agency RMBS

Agency RMBS consist of bonds issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. The fair values of these securities are priced using a mortgage pool specific model which uses daily inputs from the active to be announced market and the spread associated with each mortgage pool based on vintage. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of Agency RMBS are classified as Level 2.

CMBS

CMBS mainly include investment-grade bonds originated by non-agencies. The fair values of these securities are determined using a pricing model which uses dealer quotes and other available trade information along with security level characteristics to determine deal specific spreads. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of CMBS are generally classified as Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers to estimate fair value. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 3.

Non-agency RMBS

Non-agency RMBS mainly include investment-grade bonds originated by non-agencies. The fair values of these securities are determined using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which use inputs including available trade information or broker quotes, prepayment and default projections based on historical statistics of the underlying collateral and current market data. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-agency RMBS are generally classified as Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers to estimate fair value. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 3.

ABS

ABS mainly include investment-grade bonds backed by pools of loans with a variety of underlying collateral, including auto loans, student loans, credit card receivables and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), originated by a variety of financial institutions. The fair values of these securities are determined using a model which uses prepayment speeds and spreads sourced primarily from the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of ABS are generally classified as Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers to estimate fair value. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 3.

Municipals

Municipals comprise revenue bonds and general obligation bonds issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipal entities. The fair values of these securities are determined using spreads obtained from the new issue market, trade prices and broker-dealers quotes. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of municipals are classified as Level 2.

Equity Securities

Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and bond mutual funds. As the fair values of common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds are based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 1. As bond mutual funds have daily liquidity, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

Other Investments

The fair value of an indirect investment in CLO-Equities is estimated using an income approach valuation technique, specifically an externally developed discounted cash flow model due to the lack of observable and relevant trades in secondary markets. As the significant inputs used to price this security are unobservable, the fair value of the indirect investment in CLO-Equities is classified as Level 3.

Other privately held investments include convertible preferred shares, common shares, convertible notes, investments in limited partnerships and a variable yield security. These investments are initially valued at cost, which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these investments is derived from one or a combination of valuation methodologies which consider factors including recent capital raises by the investee companies, comparable precedent transaction multiples, comparable publicly traded multiples, third-party valuations, discounted cash-flow models, and other techniques that account for the industry and development stage of each investee company. The fair value of the variable yield security is determined using an externally developed discounted cash flow model. In order to assess the reasonableness of the information received from investee companies, the Company maintains an understanding of current market conditions, historical results, and emerging trends that may impact the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of these companies. In addition, the Company engages in regular communication with management at investee companies. As the significant inputs used to price these investments are unobservable, the fair values of other privately held investments are classified as Level 3.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments primarily comprise highly liquid securities with maturities greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. These securities are typically not actively traded due to their approaching maturity, therefore their amortized cost approximates fair value. The fair values of short-term investments are classified as Level 2.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments include foreign exchange forward contracts that are customized to the Company's economic hedging strategies and trade in the over-the-counter derivative market. The fair values of these derivatives are determined using a market approach valuation technique based on significant observable market inputs from third-party pricing vendors, non-binding broker-dealer quotes and/or recent trading activity. As the significant inputs used to price these derivatives are observable market inputs, the fair values of these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

Other underwriting-related derivatives include insurance and reinsurance contracts that are accounted for as derivatives. These derivative contracts are initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these derivatives are determined using internally developed discounted cash flow models. As the significant inputs used to price these derivatives are unobservable, the fair values of these contracts are classified as Level 3.

Cash-Settled Awards

Cash-settled awards comprise restricted stock units that form part of the Company's compensation program. Although the fair values of these awards are determined using observable quoted market prices in active markets, the restricted stock units are not actively traded. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of these liabilities are classified as Level 2.

Note: Fixed maturities of ~~$61~~$73 million that are classified as Level 3 are excluded from the above table as these securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes. In addition, other privately held investments of ~~$95~~$99 million that are classified as Level 3 are excluded from the above table as these investments are priced using capital statements received from investee companies.

Other Investments - CLO-Equities

The CLO-Equities market continues to be relatively inactive with only a small number of transactions being observed, particularly related to transactions involving CLO-Equities held by the Company. Accordingly, the fair value of the Company's indirect investment in CLO-Equities is determined using a discounted cash flow model prepared by an external investment manager.

The default and loss severity rates are the most judgmental unobservable market inputs to the discounted cash flow model to which the valuation of the Company's indirect investment in CLO-Equities is most sensitive. A significant increase (decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value estimate for the investment in CLO-Equities and, in general, a change in default rate assumptions would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity rate assumptions. Collateral spreads and estimated maturity dates are less judgmental inputs as they are based on the historical average of actual spreads and the weighted average life of the current underlying portfolios, respectively. A significant increase (decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in a higher (lower) fair value estimate for the investment in CLO-Equities. In general, these inputs have no significant interrelationship with each other or with default and loss severity rates.

On a quarterly basis, the Company's valuation process for its indirect investment in CLO-Equities includes a review of the underlying cash flows and key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model. The above significant unobservable inputs are reviewed and updated based on information obtained from secondary markets, including information received from the managers of the Company's CLO-Equities investment. In order to assess the reasonableness of the inputs the Company uses in the discounted cash flow model, the Company maintains an understanding of current market conditions, historical results, and emerging trends that may impact future cash flows. In addition, the assumptions the Company uses in its models are updated through regular communication with industry participants and ongoing monitoring of the deals in which the Company participates.

Other Investments - Other Privately Held Securities

Other privately held securities are initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair value of the variable yield security was determined using an externally developed discounted cash flow model. This model includes inputs that are specific to that investment. The inputs used in the fair value measurement include an appropriate discount rate, default rate, loss absorption rate and estimated maturity date. The selection of an appropriate discount rate is judgmental and is the most significant unobservable input used in the valuation of this investment. A significant increase (decrease) in this input in isolation could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement for this investment. In order to assess the reasonableness of the inputs the Company uses in the discounted cash flow model, the Company maintains an understanding of current market conditions, historical results, as well as investee specific information that may impact future cash flows.

Derivatives - Other Underwriting-related Derivatives

Other underwriting-related derivatives are initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these derivatives are determined using internally developed discounted cash flow models which use appropriate discount rates. The selection of an appropriate discount rate is judgmental and is the most significant unobservable input used in the valuation of these derivatives. A significant increase (decrease) in this input in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement for the derivative contracts. In order to assess the reasonableness of the inputs the Company uses in the discounted cash flow model, the Company maintains an understanding of current market conditions, historical results, as well as contract specific information that may impact future cash flows.

Transfers into Level 3 from Level 2

There were no transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were primarily due to the lack of observable market inputs and multiple quotes from pricing vendors and broker-dealers for certain fixed maturities.

Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2

There were no transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were primarily due to the availability of observable market inputs and multiple quotes from pricing vendors for certain fixed maturities.

Measuring the Fair Value of Other Investments Using Net Asset Valuations

The fair values of hedge funds, direct lending funds, private equity funds and real estate funds are estimated using net asset valuations ("NAVs") as advised by external fund managers or third-party administrators. For these funds, NAVs are based on the manager's or administrator's valuation of the underlying holdings in accordance with the fund's governing documents and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For hedge funds, direct lending funds, private equity funds and real estate funds, valuation statements are typically released on a reporting lag, therefore, the Company estimates the fair value of these funds by starting with the most recent fund valuations and adjusting for capital calls, redemptions, drawdowns and distributions. Return estimates are not available from the relevant fund managers for these funds, therefore the Company typically has a reporting lag in its fair value measurements of these funds. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 all funds measured at fair value using NAVs are reported generally on a one quarter lag.

The Company often does not have access to financial information relating to the underlying securities held within the funds, therefore, management is unable to corroborate the fair values placed on the securities underlying the asset valuations provided by fund managers or fund administrators. In order to assess the reasonableness of the NAVs, the Company performs a number of monitoring procedures on a quarterly basis, to assess the quality of the information provided by fund managers and fund administrators. These procedures include, but are not limited to, regular review and discussion of each fund's performance with its manager, regular evaluation of fund performance against applicable benchmarks and the backtesting of the Company's fair value estimates against subsequently received NAVs. Backtesting involves comparing the Company's previously reported fair values for each fund against NAVs per audited financial statements (for year-end values) and final NAVs from fund managers and fund administrators (for interim values).

The fair values of hedge funds, direct lending funds, private equity funds and real estate funds are measured using the NAV practical expedient, therefore the fair values of these funds have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value

The fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance also applies to financial instruments disclosed, but not carried, at fair value, except for certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents including restricted amounts, accrued investment income, receivable for investments sold, certain other assets, payable for investments purchased and certain other liabilities approximated fair values due to their short maturities. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their fair values are classified as Level 2.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company's fixed maturities held to maturity, were recorded at amortized cost with a carrying value of ~~$494~~$641 million (2021: $446 million) and a fair value of ~~$486~~$620 million (2021: $445 million). The fair values of these securities are determined using a model which uses prepayment speeds and spreads sourced primarily from the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable market inputs, their fair values are classified as Level 2.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the carrying value of mortgage loans, held for investment, approximated fair value. The fair values of mortgage loans are primarily determined by estimating expected future cash flows and discounting them using current interest rates for similar mortgage loans with similar credit risk or are determined from pricing for similar loans. As mortgage loans are not actively traded, their fair values are classified as Level 3.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company's debt was recorded at amortized cost with a carrying value of ~~$1,311~~$1,312 million (2021: $1,311 million) and a fair value of ~~$1,339~~$1,215 million (2021: $1,453 million). The fair value of the Company's debt is based on prices obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and broker-dealer quotes. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads are observable market inputs, the fair value of the Company's debt is classified as Level 2.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company's derivative instruments are generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreements which establish terms that apply to all transactions. In the event of a bankruptcy or other stipulated event, master netting agreements provide that individual positions be replaced with a new amount, usually referred to as the termination amount, determined by taking into account market prices and converting into a single currency. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure.

The following table provides a reconciliation of gross derivative assets and liabilities to the net amounts presented in the consolidated

balance sheets, with the difference being attributable to the impact of master netting agreements:

Refer to Note 3 'Investments' for information on reverse repurchase agreements.

a) Relating to Investment Portfolio

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's investment portfolio is exposed to foreign currency risk therefore the fair values of its investments are partially influenced by changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the effect of this foreign currency risk. These foreign currency hedging activities are not designated as specific hedges for financial reporting purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's investment portfolio includes a large percentage of fixed maturities which exposes it to significant interest rate risk. As part of overall management of this risk, the Company may use interest rate swaps.

b) Relating to Underwriting Portfolio

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and branches operate in various countries. Some of its business is written in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, therefore the underwriting portfolio is exposed to significant foreign currency risk. The Company manages foreign currency risk by seeking to match its foreign-denominated net liabilities under insurance and reinsurance contracts with cash and investments that are denominated in the same currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments, specifically, forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency exposures.

Other Underwriting-related Risks

The Company enters into insurance and reinsurance contracts that are accounted for as derivatives. These insurance or reinsurance contracts provide indemnification to an insured or cedant as a result of a change in a variable as opposed to an identifiable insurable event. The Company considers these contracts to be part of its underwriting operations.

6. RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LOSS EXPENSES (CONTINUED)

The Company writes business with loss experience generally characterized as low frequency and high severity in nature, which can result in volatility in its financial results. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company recognized catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of ~~reinsurance,~~reinstatement premiums, of ~~$60~~$127 million (2021: ~~$110~~$139 million), including $30 million attributable to the Russia-Ukraine war.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, foreign exchange and other included a reduction in reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses of $49 million related to the Reinsurance to Close of the 2018 year of account of Syndicate 2007.

Estimates for Significant Catastrophe Events

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, net reserves for losses and loss expenses included estimated amounts for numerous catastrophe events. The magnitude and complexity of losses arising from certain of these events inherently increase the level of uncertainty and, therefore, the level of management judgment involved in arriving at estimated net reserves for losses and loss expenses. These events include the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, Hurricane Ida, U.S. Winter Storms Uri and Viola and July European Floods in 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurricanes Laura, Sally, Zeta and Delta, the Midwest derecho and wildfires across the West Coast of the United States in 2020, Japanese Typhoons Hagibis, Faxai and Tapah, Hurricane Dorian and the Australia Wildfires in 2019 and Hurricanes Michael and Florence, California Wildfires and Typhoon Jebi in 2018. As a result, actual losses for these events may ultimately differ materially from current estimates.

Prior Year Reserve Development

The Company's net favorable prior year reserve development arises from changes to estimates of losses and loss expenses related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years. The following table presents net prior year reserve development by segment:

8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance Restricted Stock Units

Performance Restricted Stock Units granted in 2022

Performance restricted stock units granted in 2022 include a market condition which is the Company’s total shareholder return relative to its peer group ("Relative TSR") over the performance period. Relative TSR is calculated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. If performance goals are achieved, these awards will cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period within a range of 0% to 200% of target. Performance restricted stock units granted in 2022 were share-settled awards.

Valuation assumptions

The fair value of performance restricted stock units granted in 2022 was measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

~~The following table provides details of the significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation model:~~

The following table provides details of the significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation model:


Six months ended June 30,	2022	2021

Expected term (in years)	3.0	3.0
Expected dividend yield	n/a	n/a
Risk-free interest rate	1.26%	0.17%

Beginning share price: The beginning share price was based on the average closing share price over the 10 trading days preceding and including the start of the performance period.

Ending share price: The ending share price was based on the average projected closing share price over the 10 trading days preceding and including the end of the performance period.

Expected volatility: The expected volatility is estimated based on the Company's historical share price volatility.

Expected term: Performance for awards granted in 2022 is measured from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, and performance for awards granted in 2021 is measured from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.

Expected dividend yield: The expected dividend yield is not applicable to the performance restricted stock units as dividends are paid at the end of the vesting period and do not affect the value of the performance restricted stock units.

Risk-free interest rate: The risk free rate is estimated based on the yield on a U.S. treasury zero-coupon bond issued with a remaining term equal to the vesting period of the performance restricted stock units.

Compensation expense associated with performance restricted stock units granted in 2022 and 2021 is determined on the grant date based on the fair value calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation model, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Outlook

We are committed to leadership in specialty ~~insurance and global reinsurance markets,~~underwriting, where we have depth of talent and expertise. We believe our market positioning, underwriting expertise, best-in-class claims management capabilities and strong relationships with our distributors and clients will provide opportunities for increased profitability, with differences among our lines of business driven by our tactical response to market conditions.

~~Rates, and terms and~~Strong market conditions persist across virtually all insurance lines and geographies, ~~continued~~even as we see rate deceleration in certain markets. The industry has observed rising loss cost trends and we expect rate improvement to ~~be favorable through the first quarter of 2022. We expect many specialty segments will~~ continue ~~to experience further pricing improvements,~~ as carriers assess pricing adequacy, portfolio construction, inflationary pressure and account preferences. In this market environment, we continue to focus on growth in lines of business and market segments that are adequately priced.

The reinsurance market is also experiencing ~~an improvement~~improvements in rates, and terms and conditions. ~~This is offset by market volatility and very strong industry capitalization, and more improvement is needed to achieve price adequacy.~~ In light of 2021 marking the fifth consecutive year of challenging market loss events, carriers are aiming to reduce net volatility and increase ~~profitability. Overall,~~profitability, and we ~~believe~~anticipate the ~~reinsurance~~strongest market ~~will continue to gain momentum and there are~~ opportunities to ~~achieve the required risk adjusted rate increases while practicing disciplined underwriting~~be in specialty and ~~focused growth.~~casualty reinsurance lines.

We are encouraged by the pricing improvements we are seeing across ~~both the insurance and reinsurance segments,~~most markets, that we expect will carry into ~~2023 and beyond.~~2023. Where prices deliver adequate profitability, we will look to grow within our risk and volatility guidelines. With a strengthened book of business, and growing footprint in attractive specialty markets that are seeing the most favorable conditions, we believe AXIS is well positioned to drive profitable growth within the current environment.

Response to Russia-Ukraine War

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the triggering of sanctions against the countries involved, organizations and named individuals, we established a task-force to coordinate our response to this situation.

The Russia-Ukraine war, and its related impacts, are an emerging and evolving risk to which we are exposed from an underwriting and reserving perspective.

Our team is tracking the situation closely, including stress and scenario testing on existing underwriting exposures. A range of economic impacts and external pressures across individual product lines are being considered.

Underwriting

We are monitoring international sanctions which impact our global operations and were effective March 27, 2022. The impact on gross premiums written for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 of the cancellation of policies with exposures to the Russia-Ukraine war was immaterial. We continue to evaluate opportunities to write business in the region, not including Russia or Ukraine risks, with terms as short as seven days.

We are also closely monitoring cash due from our customers and reinsurers, giving due consideration to the Russia-Ukraine war and associated international sanctions. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we considered the potential financial impact of Russia-Ukraine war when determining allowances for expected credit losses for insurance and reinsurance premium balances receivable and reinsurance recoverable balances on unpaid losses and loss expenses. Based on facts and circumstances at that time, we did not adjust allowances for expected credit losses at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. We will continue to monitor the appropriateness of allowances for expected credit losses as new information comes to light. Adjustments to allowances for expected credit losses in subsequent periods could be material.

Reserving

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~we incurred~~estimated pre-tax catastrophe and weather-related losses ~~of $30 million~~ attributable the Russia-Ukraine ~~war.~~war remained unchanged from the March 31, 2022 at $30 million.

The estimate of net reserves for losses and loss expenses related to the Russia-Ukraine war is subject to significant uncertainty. This uncertainty is driven by the inherent difficulty in making assumptions around the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war due to the lack of comparable events, the ongoing nature of the event, and its far-reaching impacts.

While we believe the overall estimate of net reserves for losses and loss expenses is adequate for losses and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, based on current facts and circumstances, we will continue to monitor the appropriateness of

of our assumptions as new information comes to light and will adjust the estimate of net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, as appropriate.

Actual losses for this event may ultimately differ materially from current estimates.

Refer to 'Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results by Segment' for further information

Investments

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had no direct exposures to Russia or Ukraine within our investments portfolio.

Refer to Item 1A, 'Risk Factors' in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Recent Developments

On June 7, 2022, we announced the decision to exit property reinsurance business. This strategic initiative is part of an overall approach to reduce our exposure to volatile catastrophe risk. Reorganization expenses related to this strategic initiative for the

three months ended June 30, 2022

$16 million were mainly attributable to compensation-related costs associated with the termination of certain employees

The increase was primarily attributable to property, liability, professional lines, accident and health, and marine lines.

The increases in property, and liability lines were driven by new business and favorable rate changes. The increase in accident and health lines was due to new business and the timing of the receipt of monthly statements from managing general agents ("MGAs"). The increases in professional lines and marine lines were associated with favorable rate changes.

2022
% Point
Change
2021
Current accident year loss ratio 54.8 % (3.4) 58.2 %
Prior year reserve development ratio (0.9 %) (0.6) (0.3 %)

C~~urrent Accident Year Loss Ratio~~

~~The current accident year loss ratio decreased to 54.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from 58.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.~~

The current accident year loss ratio for three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was impacted by a slightly lower level of catastrophe and weather-related losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, catastrophe and weather-related losses, were $33 million, or 4.3 points, including $16 million attributable to the Russia-Ukraine war. The remaining losses of $17 million were primarily to Eastern Australia floods, and other weather-related events. Comparatively, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, catastrophe and weather-related losses were $36 million, or 5.9 points.

After adjusting for the impact of the catastrophe and weather-related losses, the current accident year loss ratio decreased to 50.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from 52.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.The decrease in the current accident year loss ratio, after adjusting for the impact of the catastrophe and weather-related losses was principally due to the impact of favorable pricing over loss trends in most lines of business, partially offset by changes in business mix associated with the increase in professional lines and liability business written in recent periods.

~~Gross premiums written for the three months ended March 31, 2022,~~ ~~decreased~~ by $125 million, or 9% ($94 million, or 7% on a constant currency basis), compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to catastrophe, motor and property lines, partially offset by an increase in accident and health, credit and surety, marine and aviation, liability engineering, agriculture lines.

The decreases in catastrophe, motor and property lines were largely driven by non-renewals and decreased line sizes on several contracts associated with repositioning the portfolio. In addition, the decrease in catastrophe lines was attributable to a decrease in reinstatement premiums due to lower catastrophe losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to reinstatement premiums associated with the U.S. Winter Storms for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in motor lines was also due to the timing of the renewals of significant contracts.

The increases in accident and health, credit and surety, liability and agriculture lines were due to new business. The increases in accident and health, and liability lines were also due to the timing of the renewals of significant contracts. In addition, premium adjustments contributed to the increase in gross premiums written in accident and health lines.

~~The increase in engineering lines was also associated with premium adjustments related to significant contracts. The increase in marine and aviation lines was attributable to new marine business.~~

Comparatively, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, catastrophe and weather-related losses were $11 million, or 1.8 points.

The current accident year loss ratio decreased to 55.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 55.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, catastrophe and weather-related losses were $61 million, or 4.0 points, including $16 million attributable to the Russia-Ukraine war. The remaining losses of $44 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily attributable to Eastern Australia floods, South Africa floods, and the high frequency of small to mid-sized other weather-related events that occurred worldwide.

Net investment losses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were ~~$95~~$173 million, compared to net investment gains of ~~$30~~$73 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the net investment losses were primarily due to net realized losses on the sale of corporate debt, U.S government and Agency RMBS ~~and corporate debt securities~~ and net unrealized losses on equity securities. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the net investment gains were primarily due to net realized gains on the sale of corporate debt and ~~U.S.~~CMBS and net unrealized gains on equity securities.

Net investment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $268 million, compared to net investment gains of $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net investment losses were primarily due to net realized losses on the sale of U.S government, ~~securities, partially offset by~~corporate debt and Agency RMBS and net unrealized losses on equity securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net investment gains were primarily due to net realized gains on the sale of corporate debt and CMBS and net unrealized gains on equity securities.

On Sale of Investments

Generally, sales of individual securities occur when there are changes in the relative value, credit quality or duration of a particular issue. We may also sell securities to re-balance our investment portfolio in order to change exposure to particular asset classes or sectors.

Impairment Losses

The impairment losses for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were $0.5 million and ~~2021 were~~ ~~$nil.~~$0.6 million, respectively, compared to impairment losses of $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Change in Fair Value of Investment Derivatives

From time to time, we economically hedge foreign exchange exposure with derivative contracts.

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ we recorded gains of $2$5 million and $7 million, respectively, related to foreign exchange contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded losses of $1 million and gains of $1 million, respectively, related to foreign exchange contracts.

Foreign Exchange Losses (Gains)

Some of our business is written in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Foreign exchange gains of ~~$44~~$57 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were mainly driven by the impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance-related liabilities denominated in pound sterling and ~~euro.~~euro.

Foreign exchange gains of $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were mainly driven by the impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance-related liabilities denominated in pound sterling and euro.

Foreign exchange losses of $4$20 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were mainly driven by the impact of the weakening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance-related liabilities denominated in euro, Canadian dollar and pound sterling.

Foreign exchange losses of $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were mainly driven by the impact of the weakening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance-related liabilities denominated in pound sterling and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance related liabilities denominated in euro.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs

Interest expense and financing costs are related to interest due on the 5.150% senior unsecured notes ("5.150% Senior Notes") issued in 2014, the 4.000% senior unsecured notes ("4.000% Senior Notes") issued in 2017, the 3.900% senior unsecured notes ("3.900% Senior Notes") and the 4.900% fixed-rate reset junior subordinated notes ("Junior Subordinated Notes") issued in 2019.

Interest expense and financing costs were ~~$16~~$15 million and $31 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~and 2021.~~respectively.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) primarily results from income (loss) generated by our operations in the U.S. and Europe. Our effective tax rate is calculated as income tax expense (benefit) divided by income (loss) before tax including interest in income (loss) of equity method investments. This effective rate can vary between periods depending on the distribution of net income (loss) among tax jurisdictions, as well as other factors.

The tax ~~expense~~benefit of ~~$nil~~$5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was principally due to the generation of pre-tax losses in our European operations, partially offset by the generation of pre-tax income in our U.S. and U.K. operations.

The tax benefit of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was principally due to the generation of pre-tax losses in our European operations together with the revaluation of net deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the increase in the U.K. tax rate to 25% from 19%, effective 2023, partially offset by an income tax expense principally due to the generation of pre-tax income in our U.S. ~~operations, offset by the generation of pre-tax losses in our~~and U.K. ~~and Europe~~ operations.

(1)Annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE") is calculated by dividing annualized net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders for the period by the average common shareholders' equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the period.

(2)Annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE") is a non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K. The reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, annualized ROACE, and a discussion of the rationale for its presentation is provided in 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation'.

(3)Book value per diluted common share represents total common shareholders’ equity divided by the number of diluted common share outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method. Cash-settled restricted stock units are excluded.

Return on Average Common Equity

Our objective is to generate superior returns on capital that appropriately reward common shareholders for the risks we assume and to grow revenue only when we expect the returns will meet or exceed our requirements. We recognize that the nature of underwriting cycles and the frequency or severity of large loss events in any one year may challenge the ability to achieve a profitability target in any specific period.

ROACE reflects the impact of net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders including net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

The ~~increase~~decrease in ROACE for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by net investment losses, a decrease in underwriting income, reorganization expenses, and a decrease in net investment income, partially offset by foreign exchange gains and an income tax benefit. In addition, ROACE was impacted by a decrease in average common shareholder's equity.

The decrease in ROACE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by net investment losses, a decrease in net investment income, and reorganization expenses, partially offset by foreign exchange gains, an increase in underwriting income ~~foreign exchange gains,~~ and an income tax benefit. In addition, ROACE was impacted by a decrease in ~~income tax expense, partially offset by net investment losses and a decrease to in net investment income.~~average common shareholder's equity.

Operating ROACE excludes the impact of net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

The ~~increase~~decrease in operating ROACE for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease in underwriting income and net investment income, partially offset by an income tax benefit. In addition, operating ROACE was impacted by a decrease in average common shareholder's equity.

The increase in operating ROACE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by an increase in underwriting income and ~~a decrease in~~an income tax ~~expense,~~benefit, partially offset by a decrease in net investment ~~income.~~income and a decrease in average common shareholder's equity.

Book Value per Diluted Common Share

We consider book value per diluted common share to be an appropriate measure of returns to common shareholders, as we believe growth in book value on a diluted basis will ultimately translate into appreciation of our stock price.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, book value per diluted common share decreased by ~~6.8%~~8% due to net unrealized investment losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and common dividends declared, partially offset by the net income ~~generated.~~generated in the period.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2021,~~June 30, 2022, book value per diluted common share decreased by 4%15% due to ~~a decrease in~~ net unrealized ~~gains~~investment losses reported in ~~accumulated~~ other comprehensive income (loss) and common dividends declared, partially offset by ~~the~~ net income ~~generated.~~

~~Table of Contents~~generated in the period.

Cash Dividends Declared per Common Share

We believe in returning excess capital to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases. Accordingly, dividend policy is an integral part of the value we create for shareholders. Our cumulative strong earnings have permitted our Board of Directors to approve eighteen successive annual increases in quarterly common share dividends.

Book Value per Diluted Common Share Adjusted for Dividends

Taken together, we believe that growth in book value per diluted common share and common share dividends declared represent the total value created for common shareholders. As companies in the insurance industry have differing dividend payout policies, we believe investors use the book value per diluted common share adjusted for dividends metric to measure comparable performance across the industry.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the decrease in total value of ~~$3.38,~~$3.92, or ~~6.1%~~8%, was driven by net unrealized losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (income), partially offset by the net income generated.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in total value of $6.17, or 13%, was driven by net unrealized losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (income), partially offset by the net income generated.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the ~~decrease~~increase in total value of ~~$1.64,~~$2.89, or 3%5%, was driven by net income generated in the period.

Table of Contents

Rationale for the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present our results of operations in a way we believe will be meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements we use are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules and regulations. In this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), we present underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, consolidated underwriting income (loss), operating income (loss) (in total and on a per share basis), annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE"), amounts presented on a constant currency basis and pre-tax total return on cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Item 10(e) of SEC Regulation S-K. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Underwriting-Related General and Administrative Expenses

Underwriting-related general and administrative expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in Item 1, Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements 'Segment Information', it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our worldwide insurance and reinsurance operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

The reconciliation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses to general and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Consolidated Results of Operations'.

Consolidated Underwriting Income (Loss)

Consolidated underwriting income (loss) is a pre-tax measure of underwriting profitability that takes into account net premiums earned and other insurance related income (loss) as revenues and net losses and loss expenses, acquisition costs and underwriting-related general and administrative expenses as expenses. While this measure is presented in Item 1, Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements 'Segment Information', it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

We evaluate our underwriting results separately from the performance of our investment portfolio. As a result, we believe it is appropriate to exclude net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from our underwriting profitability measure.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to our underwriting performance, therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Interest expense and financing costs primarily relate to interest payable on our debt. As these expenses are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these expenses are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Reorganization expenses relate to our exit from property reinsurance business, part of an overall approach to reduce our exposure to volatile catastrophe risk, in the second quarter of 2022. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process, therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Amortization of intangible assets including value of business acquired ("VOBA") arose from business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process, therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

We believe that the presentation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and consolidated underwriting income (loss) provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations, by highlighting the underlying pre-tax

profitability of our underwriting activities. The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Consolidated Results of Operations'.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) represents after-tax operational results exclusive of net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

Although the investment of premiums to generate income and investment gains (losses) is an integral part of our operations, the determination to realize investment gains (losses) is independent of the underwriting process and is heavily influenced by the availability of market opportunities. Furthermore, many users believe that the timing of the realization of investment gains (losses) is somewhat opportunistic for many companies.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on net insurance-related liabilities. In addition, we recognize unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities in net investment gains (losses). We ~~also~~ recognize unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss). These unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) reported in net income (loss), thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to the performance of our business, therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from consolidated operating income (loss).

Reorganization expenses relate to the exit from property reinsurance business, part of an overall approach to reduce our exposure to volatile catastrophe risk, in the second quarter of 2022. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process, therefore, these expenses are excluded from operating income (loss).

Interest in income (loss) of equity method investments is primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process, therefore, this income (loss) is excluded from operating income (loss).

Certain users of our financial statements evaluate performance exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments to understand the profitability of recurring sources of income.

We believe that showing net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business. In addition, we believe that this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze performance in a manner similar to how our management analyzes the underlying business performance. We also believe this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, facilitates comparison of our performance with our peer group. We believe that equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow us, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented above.

We also present operating income (loss) per diluted common share and annualized operating ROACE, which are derived from the operating income (loss) measure and are reconciled above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, earnings (loss) per diluted common share and annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE"), respectively.

Constant Currency Basis

We present gross premiums written, net premiums written and net premiums earned on a constant currency basis in this MD&A. The amounts presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate from the current year to the prior year amounts. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze growth in gross premiums written, net premiums written and net premiums earned on a constant basis. The reconciliation to gross premiums written, net premiums written and net premiums earned on a GAAP basis is presented in 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results by Segment'.

Pre-Tax Total Return on Cash and Investments excluding Foreign Exchange Movements

Pre-tax total return on cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements measures net investment income, net investments gains (losses), interest in income (loss) of equity method investments, and change in unrealized gains (losses) generated by average cash and investment balances. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze the performance of our investment portfolio. The reconciliation of pre-tax total return on cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements to pre-tax total return on cash and investments, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in 'Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains (Losses)'.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Refer to the ‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’ section included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a general discussion of liquidity and capital resources.

The following table summarizes consolidated capital:

We finance operations with a combination of debt and equity capital. Debt to total capital, and debt and preferred equity to total capital ratios, provide an indication of our capital structure, along with some insight into our financial strength. While the impact of unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), following a decrease in market value of our fixed maturities, has reduced common shareholders' equity, we believe that our financial flexibility remains strong.

Common Equity

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, common equity decreased by $~~290~~708 million. The following table reconciles opening and closing common equity positions:

We expect cash flows generated from operations, combined with liquidity provided by our investment portfolio, will be sufficient to cover cash outflows and other contractual commitments through the foreseeable future.

Financial Strength Ratings

On May 31, 2022, Moody's Investors Service revised its outlook from negative to stable due to improved core underwriting profitability and reduced catastrophe risk exposure.

On July 20, 2022, Standard and Poor's revised its outlook from negative to stable due to improved underwriting performance and reduced prospective earnings volatility as a result of our exit from property and property catastrophe reinsurance lines.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are inherently uncertain and judgmental in nature. As a result, we are required to make assumptions and best estimates in order to determine the reported values. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) it requires that significant assumptions be made in order to deal with uncertainties and (2) changes in the estimate could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

We believe the material items requiring such subjective and complex estimates are:

•reserves for losses and loss expenses;

•reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses, including the allowance for expected credit losses;

•gross premiums written and net premiums earned;

•fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities; and

•the allowance for expected credit losses associated with fixed maturities, available for sale.

We believe that the critical accounting estimates discussion in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, continues to describe the significant estimates and judgments included in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we expect could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Based upon that evaluation, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not experienced any material impact to its internal control over financial reporting resulting from the introduction of a hybrid work model.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Disclosure of Certain Activities Under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires issuers to disclose in their annual and quarterly reports whether they or any of their affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities with Iran or with individuals or entities that are subject to certain sanctions under U.S. law. Issuers are required to provide this disclosure even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside of the U.S. in compliance with applicable law.

As and when allowed by the applicable law and regulations, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries provide treaty reinsurance coverage to non-U.S. insurers on a worldwide basis, including insurers of liability, marine, aviation and energy risks, and as a result, these underlying insurance and reinsurance portfolios may have some exposure to Iran. In addition, we provide insurance and facultative reinsurance on a global basis to non-U.S. insureds and insurers, including for liability, marine, aviation and energy risks. Coverage provided to non-Iranian business may indirectly cover an exposure in Iran. For example, certain of our operations underwrite global marine hull war and cargo policies that provide coverage for vessels navigating into and out of ports worldwide, including Iran. For the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there has been no material amount of premium allocated or apportioned to activities relating to Iran. We intend for our non-U.S. subsidiaries to continue to provide such coverage only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
