Basis of Presentation |
Definitions and presentation: All financial information contained herein is unaudited except for information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise noted, all data is in U.S. dollars millions, except for per share amounts, percentages and ratio information.
In presenting Aspen’s results, management has included and discussed certain “non-GAAP financial measures”, as such term is defined in Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain Aspen’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in Aspen’s business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included in this financial supplement.
Operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure): Operating income is an internal performance measure used by Aspen in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized capital gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps, and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts.
Aspen excludes these items from its calculation of operating income because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. Aspen believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them would distort the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income in accordance with GAAP, Aspen believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Aspen’s results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes Aspen’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 26 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income.
Annualized Operating Return on Average Equity (“Operating ROE”) (a non-GAAP financial measure): Annualized Operating Return on Average Equity is calculated using operating income, as defined above, and average equity calculated as the arithmetic average on a monthly basis for the stated periods of shareholders’ equity excluding the aggregate value of the liquidation preferences of our preference shares.
Aspen presents Operating ROE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information. See page 26 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income and page 8 for a reconciliation of average equity to closing shareholders’ equity.
Diluted Operating Earnings Per Share and Basic Operating Earnings Per Share (non-GAAP financial measures): Aspen believes that the presentation of diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share supports meaningful comparison from period to period and the analysis of normal business operations. Diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share are calculated by dividing operating income by the diluted or basic weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. See page 26 for a reconciliation of diluted and basic operating earnings per share to basic earnings per share.
Diluted book value per ordinary share (is not a non-GAAP financial measure): Aspen has included diluted book value per ordinary share as it illustrates the effect on basic book value per share of dilutive securities thereby providing a better benchmark for comparison with other companies. Diluted book value per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, defined on page 24.
Underwriting ratios (GAAP financial measures): Aspen, along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of net claims and claims adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (commissions, premium taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwriting expenses) to net premiums earned. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense 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% demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstrates underwriting loss.
GAAP combined ratios differ from U.S. statutory combined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third-party acquisition expenses for GAAP reporting purposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisition expense and the general and administrative expense ratios.
Accident Year Ratios (a non-GAAP financial measure): In addition to the underwriting ratios described above, management also uses accident year ratios to evaluate current underwriting performance. The accident year ratios exclude the effect of prior years’ premium adjustments and reserve developments. This ratio focuses on the relationship between current premiums earned and losses incurred related to the current period. Please see page 13 for a reconciliation of accident year ratios to underwriting ratios calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Change of Definition |
In this financial supplement, we present data for return on equity based on average equity including all components of shareholders’ equity other than the aggregate liquidation preferences of our preference shares. Previously, we excluded net unrealized investment and foreign exchange gains included in Other Comprehensive Income from the definition of average equity for this purpose. This change applies for Net Income ROE and Operating ROE.
Aspen has made this change to bring its definition into line with that used by the majority of our market peers and because we believe it better represents the performance relative to total ordinary shareholders’ accumulated investment in the business and retained earnings. The following table shows the effect of the change in the Annual Operating ROE reported in our financial supplements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

All comparative disclosure of ROE in this financial supplement is on the new basis.

(1) In the current quarter, Aspen adopted the provision of ASU 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” Under the standard, Aspen is required to expense the proportion of its general and administrative deferred acquisition costs not directly related to successful business acquisition. The application of this standard has resulted in a net $16.0 million write down of deferred acquisition costs through retained earnings brought forward and the restatement of our quarterly balance sheets from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011.
(2) Average equity excludes preference shares.

(1) In the current quarter, Aspen adopted the provision of ASU 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” Under the standard, Aspen is required to expense the proportion of its general and administrative deferred acquisition costs not directly related to successful business acquisition. The application of this standard has resulted in a net $16.0 million write down of deferred acquisition costs through retained earnings brought forward and the restatement of our quarterly balance sheets from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011.

The basic and diluted number of ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2011 in the table above is the same, as the inclusion of dilutive securities in a loss-making period would be anti-dilutive.
(1) In the current quarter, Aspen adopted the provision of ASU 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” Under the standard, Aspen is required to expense the proportion of its general and administrative deferred acquisition costs not directly related to successful business acquisition. The application of this standard has resulted in a net $16.0 million write down of deferred acquisition costs through retained earnings brought forward and the restatement of our quarterly balance sheets from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011.
(2) Preferred Income Equity Replacement Securities (PIERS)
