Note Regarding Operating Income
In managing its business and evaluating its performance, United America Indemnity’s management focuses on operating income (net income excluding after-tax net realized investment gains (losses), gain and one-time charges from discontinued operations, net of tax, and extraordinary items that do not reflect overall operating trends) as a more appropriate measure to the ongoing operations of the business. Operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should not place undue reliance on this measure.
