| |
| • | Gross premiums written of $568.3 million, an increase of $119.7 million or 26.7% from the third quarter of 2015. |
| |
| • | Non-agriculture lines of business, which include casualty and other specialty, professional lines and property, marine/energy and aviation lines of business grew 42.5% from a year ago driven by the expansion of the Company's underwriting capabilities by product and geography over the last three years as well as from the renewal and expansion of business written within the Company's Lloyd's syndicate acquired from Montpelier in 2015. |
| |
| • | The agriculture insurance line of business declined 3.0% compared to a year ago primarily as a result of lower commodity prices. |
| |

| |
| • | Non-agriculture lines of business increased 5.7% due to strong growth in gross premiums written partially offset by increased cessions through whole account quota shares as well as individual cessions by line of business. |
| |
| • | The agriculture line of business increased $19.4 million or 65.6% due to the timing of third party reinsurance contract placements. |

The current accident year net loss ratio of 77.9% increased 8.7 percentage points due to increased attritional and large losses, primarily within the property, marine/energy and aviation line of business. Five large industry losses estimated at $2.0 billion in this line of business resulted in net losses of $16.4 million or 6.0 percentage points in the current period. The current period’s net loss ratio included favorable prior year loss reserve development of $9.6 million or 3.5 percentage points. |
| |
| • | The general and administrative expense ratio increased 1.3 percentage points, reflecting an increase of the Company's expense base as a result of added underwriting teams partially offset by a greater amount of ceding commissions received. |
| |
| • | The acquisition expense ratio increased 4.9 percentage points in the current quarter as non-agriculture lines of business with higher acquisition costs accounted for a greater percentage of earned premiums compared to a year ago. |
Operating highlights for Endurance’s Insurance segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

| |
| • | Combined ratio of 95.6% compared to 88.7% for the same period in 2015. The combined ratio was impacted by higher net loss and acquisition expense ratios, partially offset by a lower general and administrative expense ratio. The current period’s net loss ratio included $57.0 million or 7.6 percentage |
points of favorable prior year loss reserve development and $3.7 million or 0.5 percentage points of catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, from 2016 events.
Reinsurance Segment
Operating highlights for Endurance’s Reinsurance segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2016:
| |
| • | Gross premiums written of $192.4 million, a decrease of $1.6 million or 0.8% from the third quarter of 2015. |
| |
| • | The catastrophe line of business increased $10.4 million due to the targeted renewal of acquired Montpelier business. |
| |
| • | The specialty line of business increased $5.2 million largely due to growth in marine, agriculture and aviation, as global underwriting teams added over the past three years continue to identify attractive new opportunities. |
| |
| • | The property line of business decreased $11.4 million, predominantly due to targeted non-renewals and reductions of signed lines, partially offset by new business and select renewal of business acquired from Montpelier. |
| |
| • | The casualty line of business decreased $7.4 million, predominantly driven by a timing difference on its only two multi-year deals written in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by new business written. |
| |
| • | Net premiums written of $146.3 million, a decrease of $15.5 million or 9.6% from the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in net premiums written was driven by a decline in gross premiums as well as increased third party retrocessional protection purchased. |
| |
| • | Combined ratio of 69.7% compared to 68.0% for the same period in 2015. |
| |
| • | The current period’s net loss ratio of 38.1% improved 0.4 percentage points compared to 2015. The decrease in the current quarter accident year net loss ratio of 1.1 percentage points was predominantly due to improvements within the casualty, property and specialty lines of business. The current period’s net loss ratio included favorable prior year loss reserve development of $44.6 million or 13.2 percentage points. |
| |
| • | The 3.1 percentage point increase in the current quarter's acquisition expense ratio was largely due to the earning of premiums acquired from Montpelier that did not have related acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2015 and a higher percentage of premiums earned from the casualty and professional lines in the current quarter which have higher associated acquisition costs. |
| |
| • | The general and administrative expense ratio declined 1.0 percentage point in the third quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of leveraging higher earned premiums with a declining expense base that benefited from increased ceding commissions received. |
Operating highlights for Endurance’s Reinsurance segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
| |
| • | Gross premiums written of $1,512.2 million, an increase of $360.6 million or 31.3% over the same period in 2015 largely due to the targeted renewals of acquired Montpelier business. |
| |
| • | Net premiums written of $1,192.3 million, an increase of 20.3% over the same period in 2015. |
| |
| • | Combined ratio of 75.7%, compared to 71.5% for the same period in 2015. The combined ratio was impacted by a higher net loss ratio partially offset by lower acquisition and general and administrative expense ratios. The current period’s net loss ratio included $117.0 million or 11.5 percentage points of favorable prior year loss reserve development and 7.7 percentage points of net catastrophe losses from 2016 events, which amounted to $81.3 million before reinstatement premiums of $10.3 million. |

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. Management believes 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 complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. 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 operational results excluding, as applicable, net realized and unrealized gains, net impairment losses recognized in earnings and net foreign exchange gains 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 to that used by management to analyze the Company’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income.
Operating income per diluted common share are internal performance measures used by Endurance in the management of its operations. Operating income allocated to common shareholders (which excludes unvested restricted shares outstanding which are considered participating) per diluted common share represents operating income divided by weighted average dilutive common shares, which has been calculated in accordance with the two-class method under U.S. GAAP. Endurance believes that showing operating income per dilutive common share enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Endurance’s results of operations in a manner similar to that used by management to analyze the Company’s underlying business performance. Operating income per dilutive common share should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP net income per dilutive common share.
Return on Average Equity (ROAE) is comprised using the average common equity calculated as the arithmetic average of the beginning and ending common equity balances by quarter for stated periods. Return on Beginning Equity (ROBE) is comprised using the beginning common equity for stated periods. The Company presents various measures of Return on Equity that are commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.
