BASIS OF PRESENTATION
DEFINITIONS AND PRESENTATION |
| |
• | All financialinformationcontained herein is unaudited, except the balance sheet and income statement data for the years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, which was derived from the Company's audited financialstatements. |
| |
• | Unless otherwise noted, all data is in thousands, except for per share, percentage and ratio information. |
| |
• | As used in this financialsupplement,“common shares” refers to our ordinary shares and class A shares, collectively. |
| |
• | EnduranceSpecialtyHoldings Ltd., along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of claims and claims adjustmentexpense to earned premiums. The acquisitionexpense ratio is the ratio of underwritingexpenses(commissions, taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwritingexpenses) to earned premiums. The general and administrativeexpense ratio is the ratio of general and administrativeexpenses to earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisitionexpense ratio and the general and administrativeexpense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of losses and expenses,respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of earned premium. A combined ratio below 100% demonstratesunderwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstratesunderwriting loss. |
| |
• | GAAP combined ratios differ from statutorycombined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third party acquisitionexpenses for GAAP reportingpurposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisitionexpense and the general & administrativeexpense ratios. |
| |
• | NM - Not meaningful; NA - Not Applicable; LTM - Latest twelve months. |

Endurance Operating Income Profile

![](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0000950136-07-002991/img01.jpg)
The above chart represents a cumulativeanalysis of our in-force underwritingportfolio on a full year basis based on thousands of potentialscenarios. Loss years are driven largely by the occurrence of natural catastrophes and incorrect pricing of other property and casualtyexposures. The operating income depictedincludes net premiums earned plus net investmentincome,acquisitionexpenses and G&A expenses. Forecastedinvestmentincome,acquisition and G&A expenses are held constant across all scenarios. Losses included above are net of reinsuranceincludingcollateralizedreinsurance and ILW purchases. Our stated objective is to maintain a risk managementtolerance that limits our loss in a 1-in-100 year year to be no more than 25% of our equity capital. We base our budget and forecasts on the average result, although the nature of the curve places the median result further to the right.
Changes in Endurance’sunderwritingportfolio,investmentportfolio, risk control mechanisms, market conditions and other factors may cause actual results to vary considerably from those indicated by our value at risk curve. For a listing of risks related to Endurance and its future performance, please see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

[a] | For internal management reporting purposes, underwriting results by segment are presented on the basis of applying reinsurance accounting to all reinsurance contracts written. However, for financial statement presentation purposes, management determined that certain reinsurance contracts written during the period were more appropriately accounted for under the deposit method of accounting specified by AICPA SOP 98-7 whereby net premiums due on such contracts were recorded as deposit liabilities. The adjustment herein reconciles the Company’s underwriting results by segment to the Company’s financial statement presentation. |

Note: | | Warrants, options and unvested restricted share units that are anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding. Warrants, options and unvested restricted share units are anti-dilutive for earnings per share in any period in which there is a net loss and the anti-dilution is reflected in the calculations above as additional treasury method repurchases. Restricted share units are included in the calculation of basic and diluted weighted shares outstanding. The treasury stock method assumes that the proceeds received from the exercise of options or warrants will be used to repurchase the Company’s common shares at the average market price during the period of calculation. SFAS No. 123R also requires that any unrecognized stock based compensation expense that will be recorded in future periods be included as proceeds for purposes of the treasury stock repurchases. |

REGULATION G
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. Managementbelieves that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the Company’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more completeunderstanding of the underlying trends in the Company’sbusiness. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP.
Operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company in the management of its operations. Operating income represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized capital gains or losses and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. The Company believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Company’s results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Company’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be view ed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 23 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income.
Return on Average Equity (ROAE) is comprised using the averagecommon equity calculated as the arithmeticaverage of the beginning and ending common equity balances for stated periods. Return on Beginning Equity (ROBE) is comprised using the beginningcommon equity for stated periods. The Companypresents various measures of Return on Equity that are commonlyrecognized as a standard of performance by investors,analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financialinformation.
Investment yield is provided by the Company’sinvestmentmanagers and is calculated by dividing net investment income by averageinvested assets at amortized cost. The Company utilizes and presents the investment yield in order to better disclose the performance of the Company’sinvestments and to show the components of the Company’s ROE.
The Company has included diluted book value per common share because it takes into account the effect of dilutivesecurities;therefore, the Companybelieves it is a better measure of calculatingshareholder returns than book value per common share. Please see page 25 for a reconciliation of diluted book value per common share to basic book value per common share.
