PART I.
Item 1. Business
Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2021, we changed our reportable segments to: Accident & Health (“A&H”), Specialty, Property, and Runoff & Other. This reflects our larger and expanded operations subsequent to the acquisition of Sirius Group. Each segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are described as follows:
•A&H consists of our Global A&H reinsurance underwriting business;
•Specialty consists of our specialty reinsurance product offerings, which includes Marine & Energy, Credit, Casualty and Other Specialty;
•Property consists of our underwriting lines of business that offer Property Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance and Property Risk and Pro Rata; and
•Runoff & Other includes retroactive reinsurance contracts consisting of loss portfolio transfers, adverse development covers and other forms of reserve reinsurance providing indemnification of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves with respect to past loss events.
Reinsurance Strategy
Our current reinsurance strategy is to build a portfolio that generates margins commensurate with the amount of risk assumed, by targeting sub-sectors of the market and specific situations where reinsurance capacity and alternatives may be constrained and/or we can leverage our underwriting and structuring expertise. During 2019, we expanded into property catastrophe reinsurance and other event risk driven reinsurance as part of a shift in our overall underwriting strategy towards higher margin business and to reduce our focus on lower volatility, float generating underwriting strategies.
In 2020, we have incrementally expanded the lines of business and forms of reinsurance on which we focus where we believe the higher expected margins adequately compensate us for the increased risk and we have commensurately reduced market risk in our investment portfolio. We have also begun writing a limited amount of excess of loss casualty covers in lines of business where we have historically assumed only quota share exposure. We plan to evaluate and consider pursuing opportunities in other new lines of reinsurance business in 2021 based on market conditions and our assessment of the potential underwriting profitability.
We intend to manage our book of business by underwriting predominantly a mix of reinsurance contracts where the underlying insurance exposures are both personal and commercial lines. We intend to increase our geographic spread over time; however, we expect that a majority of our reinsurance business will continue to be comprised of U.S. exposure, with the majority of our non-U.S. exposure derived from our event driven risk in our property catastrophe and specialty catastrophe portfolios. See Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a breakdown of gross premiums written by domicile of ceding companies.
In addition, we may, from time to time, invest in or acquire managing general agents or other insurance entities as part of our ongoing strategy to leverage our underwriting and capital markets expertise to structure and offer capital alternatives in numerous forms and combinations, including equity, debt and reinsurance offerings. We consider these opportunities when we view access to the underlying reinsurance as valuable, and we typically structure long term rights of first refusal on the underlying business as a condition to making a capital commitment.

Segment Products
Our underwriting team has extensive experience in underwriting many forms of property, casualty and specialty reinsurance products. The majority of our premium is written on a proportional basis where the reinsurer shares liabilities and premiums in a clearly defined proportion with the insurer and pays commissions to cover expenses and share in profitability. We also offer reinsurance on an excess of loss basis, where the reinsurer is paid a premium to cover losses after the insurer has retained a specified deductible.
We began writing a portfolio of property catastrophe reinsurance incepting in 2019 as well as expanding into new specialty lines of business. We have expanded the lines of business and forms of reinsurance that we write as we seek to increase our risk-adjusted returns and improve our combined ratio to a level where we expect a positive contribution to net income from underwriting in addition to our return on invested assets. We will continue to pursue business opportunities that are syndicated as well as those where we are the sole or primary reinsurer.
While we expect to establish a diversified portfolio, our allocation of risk will vary based on our perception of the opportunities available in each line of business. Geographically, we do most of our business with insurer and reinsurer clients located in the United States of America, Bermuda, United Kingdom and Europe. Moreover, our appetite for certain lines will fluctuate based upon market conditions and we may only offer or underwrite a limited range of lines in any given period. We intend to:
•target markets where capacity and alternatives are underserved or capacity constrained;
•employ strict underwriting discipline, while assembling a portfolio of diversified risks;
•select reinsurance opportunities with expected favorable economics over the life of the contract;
•pursue opportunities that capitalize on our structuring and underwriting expertise; and
•leverage our senior management relationships with client and intermediaries.

Through December 31, 2020, we wrote reinsurance contracts covering the following product lines:
Accident & Health
Global A&H
The Company is a reinsurer of medical expense, travel and personal accident on a treaty or facultative basis worldwide.
Specialty
Specialty lines represent unique risks where the more difficult and unusual risks are underwritten, and much of the market is characterized by a high degree of specialization. The following provides details of Specialty by product line:
Marine & Energy
The Company provides marine & energy reinsurance, primarily written on an excess of loss and proportional basis. Coverage offered includes damage to ships and goods in transit, marine liability lines, and offshore energy industry insurance.
Credit
The Company underwrites mortgage risks both as reinsurance and by retrocession. Mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that compensates lenders or investors for losses arising from the default of a mortgage loan. Mortgage insurance can refer to private mortgage insurance, mortgage life insurance or insurance provided under the credit risk sharing transactions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition to mortgage reinsurance, policies classified as Credit may include trade credit, surety, financial guarantee, residual value insurance and title insurance.
Casualty
Casualty represents a cross section of all casualty lines, including professional liability, general liability, workers compensation, auto and other casualty classes, written on a proportional and excess of loss basis.
Workers’ compensation reinsurance provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for the mandatory relinquishment of the employee’s right to sue the employer for negligence. Workers' compensation catastrophe cover is reinsurance that an insurance company acquires to protect itself against losses arising from a catastrophe or chain of events that result in injuries to multiple workers.
Auto reinsurance primarily consists of personal and commercial automobile insurance and is purchased to provide the insured with financial protection against bodily injury or physical damage resulting from traffic accidents and against liability that could arise from such occurrences.
Our other casualty lines of business is comprised of casualty contracts exposed to more than one type of casualty risk. We write primarily proportional reinsurance in this sector, though we also provide excess of loss coverage. Typically, other casualty lines include professional liability and general liability.
Other Specialty
The principal lines of business included in our Other Specialty line is primarily comprised of multi-line specialty reinsurance, contingency, cyber and transactional liability.
Multi-line reinsurance is reinsurance of an underlying portfolio of several different types of insurance or reinsurance risks. We focus on multi-line reinsurance opportunities where we have expertise in the underlying lines of business or where the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contract minimize the volatility of the more difficult to analyze classes of business in the portfolio. Contracts that cover more than one line of business will typically be designated as multi-line even if a portion of the underlying business is covered by one of the lines of business listed above. These opportunities can be structured on both a proportional and excess of loss basis.
5
The Company’s contingency insurance book covers event cancellation and non-appearance.
Property
Property consists of the Company’s underwriting lines of business which offer Property Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance and Property Risk and Pro Rata on a worldwide basis. The following provides details of Property by product line:
Property Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance
Property catastrophe excess reinsurance is comprised of excess of loss and/or proportional coverages to insurance and reinsurance companies and provides protection to an insured for losses from a single catastrophic event or series of events. We carefully monitor and manage our risk aggregations by peril and geography, and we seek to manage volatility via portfolio construction and client selection.
Property Risk and Pro Rata
This line of reinsurance primarily consists of exposure to homeowners’ and commercial lines insurance coverage. We provide structured surplus relief transactions covering property exposures where the expected volatility and reinsurance margins are lower.
Runoff & Other
Runoff & Other contracts consist of loss portfolio transfers, adverse development covers and other forms of reserve reinsurance providing indemnification of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves with respect to past loss events. These contracts can include one or multiple lines of business and cover the potential for changes in estimates of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to loss events that have occurred in the past.

PART II
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a holding company domiciled in Bermuda. Through our reinsurance subsidiaries, we provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies on a worldwide basis. Our goal is to deliver attractive equity returns to our shareholders by combining profitable reinsurance underwriting with a differentiated investment strategy.
Effective January 1, 2021, we changed our reportable segments to: Accident & Health (“A&H”), Specialty, Property, and Runoff & Other. This reflects our larger and expanded operations subsequent to the acquisition of Sirius Group. Each segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are described as follows:
•A&H consists of our Global A&H reinsurance underwriting business;
•Specialty consists of our specialty reinsurance product offerings, which includes Marine & Energy, Credit, Casualty and Other Specialty;
•Property consists of our underwriting lines of business that offer Property Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance and Property Risk and Pro Rata; and
•Runoff & Other includes retroactive reinsurance contracts consisting of loss portfolio transfers, adverse development covers and other forms of reserve reinsurance providing indemnification of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves with respect to past loss events.
In addition, effective January 1, 2021, we changed our accounting policy for assumed written premium recognition. Previously, we estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. We changed our accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty. The change in accounting policy had no impact on the previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the change in accounting policy.
Key Performance Indicators
We believe that by combining a disciplined and opportunistic approach to reinsurance underwriting with investment results from the active management of our investment portfolio, we will be able to generate attractive returns for our shareholders. The key financial measures that we believe are most meaningful in analyzing our performance are: net underwriting income (loss), combined ratio, net investment income, net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, basic book value per share, diluted book value per share, growth in diluted book value per share and return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:
The following table sets forth the key items discussed in the consolidated results of operations section, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

A key driver of our consolidated results of operations is the performance of our investments managed by Third Point LLC. Given the nature of the underlying investment strategies and current market conditions as a result of COVID-19, we could experience increased volatility in our net investment returns and net investment income and therefore in our consolidated results.
8
The other key changes in our consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period were primarily due to the following:
Net Corporate & Other Expenses
Net corporate and other expenses include costs necessary to support our reinsurance operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company.
The increase in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and regulatory fees associated with the Merger of $16.7 million. The increase was partially offset by separation costs incurred in the prior year and lower payroll related costs in the current year primarily due to lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals. The increase was also partially offset by a decrease in expenses relating to interest crediting features in certain deposit liability contracts compared to the prior year period primarily due to revised estimates of underlying assumptions in the current year period.
The increase in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to separation costs, higher payroll related costs due to higher annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals and higher professional fees. The increase was also due to an increase in expenses relating to interest crediting features in certain deposit liability contracts primarily due to two deposit contracts that were commuted in the year ended December 31, 2018, resulting in gains recognized.
Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. Effective January 1, 2021, our business comprises four operating segments, A&H, Specialty, Property, and Runoff & Other.

The amount of gross premiums written and earned that we recognize can vary significantly from period to period due to several reasons, which include:
•The majority of our gross written premium is derived from a small number of large contracts; therefore individual renewals or new business can have a significant impact on premiums recognized in a period;
10
•We offer customized solutions to our clients, including reserve covers, on which we may not have a regular renewal opportunity;
•We record gross premiums written and earned for reserve covers, which are considered retroactive reinsurance contracts, at the inception of the contract;
•We write multi-year contracts that will not necessarily renew in a comparable period;
•We may extend and/or amend contracts resulting in premium that will not necessarily renew in a comparable period;
•Our reinsurance contracts often contain commutation and/or cancellation provisions;
•Our quota share reinsurance contracts are subject to significant judgment in the amount of premiums that we expect to recognize and changes in premium estimates are recorded in the period they are determined; and
•The impact of COVID-19 and resulting economic downturn on our clients may result in a reduction in the volume of premium that they write and cede to us.
As a result of these factors, we may experience volatility in the amount of gross premiums written and net premiums earned and period to period comparisons may not be meaningful.
Gross Premiums Written
Gross premiums written decreased by $79.9 million, or 11.9%, to $588.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $668.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including certain contracts which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as a result of our shift in underwriting strategy. This decrease was partially offset by new contracts bound in the current year.
Gross premiums written increased by $18.2 million, or 2.8%, to $668.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $650.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to $93.0 million related to two retroactive reinsurance contracts written in the period and $67.9 million of new property catastrophe business. This increase was partially offset by contracts that we did not renew in the current year as well as the net impact of contract extensions, cancellations and contracts renewed with no comparable premium in the comparable period.
Net premiums written
Net premiums written decreased by $114.8 million, or 17.5%, to $542.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $657.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including certain contracts which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as a result of our shift in underwriting strategy. The decrease was also due to an increase in gross premiums ceded in the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to one fronted reinsurance treaty, a small number of property catastrophe retro purchases for the purposes of portfolio management and gross premiums ceded of $9.5 million relating to Arcadian.
Net premiums written increased by $11.0 million, or 1.7%, to $657.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $646.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, consistent with the increase discussed above for gross premiums written.
Net premiums earned
Net premiums earned decreased by $89.2 million, or 12.7%, to $610.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $700.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a lower in-force underwriting portfolio and retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts that were written and fully earned in the current year period of $28.9 million compared to $87.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
11
Net premiums earned increased by $78.7 million, or 12.7%, to $700.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $621.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to a higher in-force underwriting portfolio and retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts that were written and fully earned of $87.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $74.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Net underwriting results
We generated a net underwriting loss of $72.3 million and a combined ratio of 111.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a net underwriting loss of $33.1 million and a combined ratio of 104.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in net underwriting loss was primarily due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, prior year adverse development and higher catastrophe losses.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $36.6 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, or 6.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, primarily related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events, compared to $29.0 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, in the year ended December 31, 2019, or 4.1 percentage points on the combined ratio, related to Hurricane Dorian, Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and other 2019 catastrophe events.
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing unprecedented social disruption, global economic volatility, reduced liquidity of capital markets and intervention by various governments around the world. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net losses of $46.7 million, net of additional premiums, or 7.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, relating to COVID-19. These losses were driven primarily by event cancellation, property business interruption, and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.
The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic will continue to create uncertainty around the ultimate scope of claims and potential for additional insurance losses. Our estimates are based on currently available information provided by cedents. These estimates include losses only related to our estimate of claims incurred as of December 31, 2020. It is also possible that changes in economic conditions and the various economic stimulus deployed by governments across the world in response to COVID-19 could lead to higher or lower inflation than we had anticipated, which could in turn lead to an increase or decrease in loss costs and the need to strengthen or reduce claims and claim adjustment expense reserves.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an increase in net underwriting loss of $34.6 million, or 5.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, related to net adverse development of prior years’ loss reserves, net of the related impact of acquisition costs, compared to a net $5.4 million, or 0.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement in the net underwriting results related to net favorable development of prior years’ loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2019. The adverse underwriting loss development for the year ended December 31, 2020 is a result of accumulated loss experience and cedent reserving increases, indicating that underlying casualty loss trends are higher than initial pricing and reserving, consistent with the industry impact of social inflation. In addition, the current elevated level of uncertainty makes historical data less applicable for future projections, and has contributed to an increase in the estimate of ultimate losses on certain accounts.
We generated a net underwriting loss of $33.1 million and a combined ratio of 104.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a net underwriting loss of $53.1 million and a combined ratio of 108.5% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net underwriting loss, after giving effect to catastrophe losses and reserve development, was primarily due to a shift in the mix of business, including earnings on new property catastrophe and specialty business.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $29.0 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, or 4.1 percentage points on the combined ratio, primarily related to Hurricane Dorian, Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and other 2019 catastrophe events, compared to $18.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, or 3.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, related to the California wildfires and other 2018 catastrophe events.
12
Although we did not specifically write property catastrophe contracts in 2018 or in prior years, we were exposed to California wildfire losses through liability reinsurance of the utilities in California during 2018 and incidental exposure that we had to catastrophic events on two Florida homeowners contracts, as a result of Hurricane Michael, and on two whole account reinsurance contracts.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded a net $5.4 million, or 0.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement in net underwriting results related to favorable development of prior years’ loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs, compared to a net $5.2 million, or 0.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, improvement for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Other Underwriting Expenses
Other underwriting expenses primarily consist of general and administrative expenses and other operating income and expenses allocated to underwriting activities.
The decrease in other underwriting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily the result of lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals, lower credit facility fees, lower travel expenses and income on certain reinsurance contracts accounted for as derivative contracts in the current year period. The decrease was partially offset by higher stock compensation expense as a result of more restricted shares with performance and service conditions considered probable of vesting, higher annual compensation expense from new employees and due to an increase in expenses associated with the new managing general agent, Arcadian.
The increase in other underwriting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of an increase in payroll related costs due to higher annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals and an increase in the number of employees compared to the prior year period.

The increase in net underwriting loss in the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to $38.8 million of prior year net adverse underwriting loss development relating to certain casualty reserves in response to our accumulated loss experience and the broader industry trends of social inflation in addition to COVID-19 losses of $36.7 million. These losses were driven primarily by event cancellation and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premium recognition. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. For contracts where the full premium written was not estimable at inception, the Company recorded premium written for the portion of the contract period for which the amount was estimable.
The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies, managing general underwriters, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers or ceding companies. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition and Note 3 for the retrospective impact from the change in accounting policy on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize. These include commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. In addition, we write a small number of large contracts and the majority of our property and casualty reinsurance segment premiums written to date has been quota share business. As a result, we may be subject to greater volatility around our premium estimates compared to other property and casualty companies. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $53.5 million of changes in premium estimates on prior years’ contracts (2019 - $37.8 million). There was a $(1.8) million impact on net income of these changes in premium estimates for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 - $0.7 million).
Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we use deposit accounting. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on deposit contracts entered into to date.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
Reinsurance Contracts
We have foreign currency exposure related to non-U.S. dollar denominated reinsurance contracts. Of our gross premiums written from inception, $662.4 million, or 13.9%, were written in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2020, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves included $189.1 million (December 31, 2019 - $171.5 million) and net reinsurance balances receivable included $17.6 million (December 31, 2019 - $8.3 million) in foreign currencies. These foreign currency liability exposures were generally offset by foreign currencies held in trust accounts of $178.5 million as of December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $170.2 million). The foreign currency cash and cash equivalents and investments held in reinsurance trust accounts are included in net investments managed by Third Point LLC. The exposure to foreign currency collateral held in trust accounts is excluded from the foreign currency investment exposure table below.
Credit Risk
Reinsurance Contracts
We have exposure to credit risk through reinsurance contracts with companies that write credit risk insurance. Our portfolio of risk is predominantly U.S. mortgage insurance and mortgage credit risk transfer. We provide our clients in these lines of business with reinsurance protection against credit deterioration, defaults or other types of financial non-performance. Loss experience in these lines of business has been very good but is cyclical and is affected by the state of the general economic environment. We seek to proactively manage the risks associated with these credit-sensitive lines of business by closely monitoring its risk aggregation and by diversifying the underlying risks where possible. We have bought some retrocessional coverage against a subset of these risks. We have written $405.3 million, or 8.5%, of credit and financial lines premium since inception, of which $78.9 million was written in the year ended December 31, 2020. The majority of the mortgage insurance premium has been written as quota shares of private mortgage insurers, primarily in the United States.
Our portfolio of credit risk reinsurance is susceptible to the potential effects of COVID-19. These effects are unlikely to be the direct consequence of the pandemic itself but will more likely be a result of the economic impact of the pandemic and the steps that governments and others around the world have taken in an attempt to control its spread and the corresponding loss of life and health. With that in mind, the ultimate result for our book of business will be determined by the length and depth of the ensuing recession and heightened levels of unemployment.
We have exposure to credit risk as it relates to its business written through brokers, if any of our brokers are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations with respect to payments to us. In addition, in some jurisdictions, if the broker fails to make payments to the insured under our policy, we may remain liable to the insured for the deficiency. Our exposure to such credit risk is somewhat mitigated in certain jurisdictions by contractual terms.
We are exposed to credit risk relating to balances receivable under our reinsurance contracts, including premiums receivable, and the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations to us. The risk of counterparty default is partially mitigated by the fact that any amount owed to us from a reinsurance counterparty would be netted against any losses we would pay in the future. We monitor the collectability of these balances on a regular basis.
To date, the events surrounding COVID-19 have not caused us to have heightened concern about our ability to collect on payments due from our brokers or under our reinsurance contracts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders and the Board of Directors
SiriusPoint Ltd. (formerly known as Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SiriusPoint Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Change in Accounting Policy
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for assumed gross premiums written effective January 1, 2021, with retrospective application to all periods presented.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of incurred but not reported loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2020, the Company’s incurred but not reported loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (IBNR reserves) were $1,043.5 million which are included in the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves of $1,310.1 million. As described in Notes 2 and 9 of the consolidated financial statements, IBNR reserves are established by management based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses at a given point in time. Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses for the property and casualty segment, including catastrophe events, are the uncertainties of future expected trends in claim severity and frequency which may vary significantly as claims are settled. The uncertainties are primarily due to the preliminary nature of the information, the lapse of time to receive the reporting of the claims and the ultimate settlement of the claims, the diversity of development patterns among different types of reinsurance treaties, and the reliance on the cedents and brokers for information regarding claims. In particular, the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses is sensitive to significant assumptions including the initial expected loss ratio, paid and incurred loss development factors, the selection and weighting of the principal actuarial methods applied to project the ultimate losses, and the estimate of the ultimate loss for a catastrophe event. Auditing management’s best estimate of IBNR reserves was complex and involved a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s methods and assumptions used in determining the ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses and the valuation of the IBNR reserves. | ||||
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant controls over the Company’s IBNR reserves estimation process, including, among others, management review controls over the significant judgment applied on the selection and weighting of the actuarial methods and assumptions in the calculation of the IBNR reserves. Our audit procedures also included, among others, agreeing the key contract terms for selected contracts to the terms used in the reserve calculation (including coverage basis and years of coverage) and agreeing samples of outstanding loss reserves and paid losses to original source documentation. To test the IBNR reserves, our audit procedures included, among others, utilizing the assistance of actuarial specialists. Our actuarial specialist assessed the selection and weighting of the principal actuarial methods applied by management to project the ultimate losses by comparing management’s methods and assumptions used with historical experience and prior period methods and assumptions. Our actuarial specialists evaluated the loss development factors including comparison to industry benchmarks, assessed the initial expected loss ratio as determined at pricing on a sample basis and assessed the estimate of catastrophic event losses with comparison to industry losses for selected events. Further, our actuarial specialists independently projected the ultimate loss by applying generally accepted actuarial methods at the individual contract level, independently calculated a range of reasonable reserve estimates and compared the range of reserve estimates to the Company’s recorded loss and loss adjustment expenses reserves. |

SiriusPoint Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. Organization
SiriusPoint Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “SiriusPoint” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011. Through its reinsurance subsidiaries, the Company is a provider of global property and casualty reinsurance products. Through December 31, 2020, the Company operated through two licensed reinsurance subsidiaries, Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Third Point Re BDA”), a Bermuda reinsurance company that commenced operations in January 2012, and Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. (“Third Point Re USA”).
Third Point Re USA is a Bermuda reinsurance company that was incorporated on November 21, 2014 and commenced operations in February 2015. Third Point Re USA made an election under Section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be taxed as a U.S. entity. Third Point Re USA prices and underwrites reinsurance business from an office in the United States. Third Point Re USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. (“TPRUSA”), an intermediate holding company based in the U.S., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (UK) Holdings Ltd. (“Third Point Re UK”), an intermediate holding company based in the United Kingdom. Third Point Re UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of SiriusPoint.
In August 2012, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing (UK) Limited (“TPRUK”). In May 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
In September 2020, the Company co-founded Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd (“Arcadian”), a managing general agent incorporated in Bermuda writing business on behalf of the Company. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020. Arcadian is considered a variable interest entity and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As a result, Arcadian is consolidated by the Company and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.
2. Significant accounting policies
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total net investment income (loss), total revenues or net income (loss).
Expense Reclassifications
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company reclassified certain expenses on the consolidated statements of income (loss) to separately present expenses associated with the Company’s underwriting operations from corporate and other expenses necessary to support corporate operations including those as a publicly-traded company.
These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total expenses or net income (loss).
F-7
The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Company:
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, estimates of written and earned premiums and fair value of financial instruments.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in trust accounts securing obligations under certain reinsurance contracts and cash held with brokers and in trust accounts securing letters of credit issued under credit facilities.
Premium revenue recognition
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premium recognition. The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies, managing general underwriters, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers or ceding companies.
Premiums written are earned over the exposure period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Reinstatement premiums are earned when written. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the remaining term of the underlying policies in force.
Premiums for retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts are earned at the inception of the contract, as all of the underlying loss events covered by these exposures occurred in the past. If the estimated loss and loss adjustment expense reserve differs from the premium received at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract, the resulting difference is deferred and recognized over the estimated claim payment period of the related contract with the periodic amortization reflected in earnings as a component of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred.
See Note 3 for additional information on the retrospective impact from the change in accounting policy on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reinsurance premiums ceded
From time to time, the Company reduces the risk of losses on business written by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the extent that the Company does not hold sufficient security for their unpaid obligations. Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risks incept and are earned over the contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of reinsurance ceded.
F-8
Reinsurance
Reinsurance recoverables include claims we paid and estimates of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses that are subject to reimbursement under reinsurance and retrocessional contracts. The method for determining reinsurance recoverables for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses involves reviewing actuarial estimates of gross unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses to determine our ability to cede unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses under our existing reinsurance contracts. This method is continually reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are reflected in earnings in the period identified. Reinsurance premiums, commissions and expense reimbursements are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the term of the reinsurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for losses and loss adjustment expenses for which the Company has not been relieved of its legal obligations to the policyholder are reported as assets.
Deferred acquisition costs
Acquisition costs consist of commissions, brokerage and excise taxes that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal reinsurance contracts. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment income is greater than expected future loss and loss adjustment expenses and acquisition costs. If a loss is probable on the unexpired portion of contracts in force, a premium deficiency loss is recognized. As of December 31, 2020, deferred acquisition costs are considered to be fully recoverable and no premium deficiency has been recorded.
Acquisition costs also include profit commissions that are expensed when incurred. Profit commissions are calculated and accrued based on the expected loss experience for contracts and recorded when the current loss estimate indicates that a profit commission is probable under the contract terms.
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include case reserves, reserves for losses incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR reserves”) and deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance contracts. Case reserves are established for losses that have been reported, but not yet paid. IBNR reserves represent the estimated loss and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet reported to the insurer or reinsurer, including unknown future development on loss and loss adjustment expenses that are known to the insurer or reinsurer. IBNR reserves are established by management based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses. Deferred gains represent the underwriting profit related to retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts at inception and are deferred and amortized over the estimated future settlement period of the contract. Deferred gains are included in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. If the premium received is lower than the estimated loss and loss adjustment expense reserves assumed at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract, the resulting difference is deferred and recorded in other assets. This difference is also amortized over the estimated future settlement period of the contract.
Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period in which they become known.
Deposit liabilities
Certain contracts do not transfer sufficient insurance risk to be deemed reinsurance contracts and are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Management exercises judgment in determining whether contracts transfer sufficient risk to be accounted for as reinsurance contracts. Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially recorded based upon the consideration received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the deposit liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield
F-9
on the deposit to reflect actual payments to date and future expected payments. In some cases, the effective yield on the contract may be negative, which will result in the recognition of other income.
Fair value measurement
The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with current accounting guidance, which defines fair value and establishes a three level fair value hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or would pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the estimated fair value of each individual security utilizing the highest level inputs available.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
•Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
•Level 3 – Inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the investment, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
Investments
Investments - Trading
The Company’s investments are classified as “trading securities” and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The fair value of the Company’s investments are based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications, industry recognized pricing vendors, and/or internal pricing valuation techniques. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis with balances pending settlement included in due to/from brokers in the consolidated balance sheets.
F-10
Realized gains and losses are determined using costs calculated on a specific identification basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis including interest and premiums amortized and discounts accreted.
Investment in related party investment fund
The Company invests in TP Fund, a related party investment fund. The Company’s investment in TP Fund is stated at its fair value, that generally represents the Company’s proportionate interest in TP Fund as reported by the fund based on the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the fund administrator. Increases or decreases in such fair value are recorded within net investment income from investment in related party investment fund in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Realized gains or losses upon any redemptions of investments in TP Fund are calculated using the weighted average method. The Company records contributions and withdrawals related to its investments in TP Fund on the transaction date.
Derivatives
Investments
Prior to the change in the investment account structure, derivative instruments within our investment assets managed by our investment manager, Third Point LLC, were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair values and realized gains and losses recognized in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Derivatives served as a key component of the Company’s investment strategy and were utilized primarily to structure the portfolio, or individual investments, and to economically match the investment objectives of the Company. The Company’s derivatives did not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes and were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis and not offset against any collateral pledged or received. Pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) master agreements, securities lending agreements and other derivatives agreements, the Company and its counterparties typically have the ability to net certain payments owed to each other in specified circumstances. In addition, in the event a party to one of the ISDA master agreements, securities lending agreements or other derivatives agreements defaults, or a transaction is otherwise subject to termination, the non-defaulting party generally has the right to set off against payments owed to the defaulting party or collateral held by the non-defaulting party.
The Company entered into derivative contracts to manage credit risk, interest rate risk, currency exchange risk and other exposure risks. The Company used derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to economically hedge certain risks and to gain exposure to certain investments. The utilization of derivative contracts also allowed for an efficient means by which to trade certain asset classes.
Fair values of derivatives were determined by using quoted market prices, industry recognized pricing vendors and counterparty quotes when available; otherwise fair values were based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility and the current market and contractual prices of underlying financial instruments.
Embedded derivatives
Certain of the Company’s reinsurance contracts contain interest crediting features that vary based on the net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC. These contractual features are considered embedded derivatives in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets with the host contract in order to reflect the expected settlement of these features with the host contract. The change in estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Other derivatives
From time to time the Company may also enter into reinsurance contracts that meet the definition of a derivative contract. The Company measures these derivative instruments at fair value and recognizes these instruments as
F-11
either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes in estimated fair value of these derivatives are recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Share-based compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation transactions using the fair value of the award at the grant date and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Determining the fair value of share purchase options at the grant date requires estimation and judgment. The Company uses an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) to calculate the fair value of share purchase options.
For share purchase options or restricted share awards granted that contain both a service and performance condition, the Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the options or restricted share awards that are considered probable of vesting. Share compensation for share purchase options or restricted share awards considered probable of vesting are expensed over the service (vesting) period on a straight-line basis. The probability of share purchase options or restricted share awards vesting is evaluated at each reporting period. When the share purchase options or restricted share awards are considered probable of vesting, the Company records a true up of share compensation expense from the grant date (service inception date) to the current reporting period end based on the fair value of the options or restricted share awards at the grant date.
The Company measures grant date fair value for restricted share awards, with a service condition only, based on the price of its common shares at the grant date and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrant contracts issued to certain of its founding investors (“Founders”) in conjunction with the initial capitalization of the Company by using either the physical settlement or net-share settlement methods. The fair value of these warrants was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. The fair value of warrants issued are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company accounts for certain warrant contracts issued to an advisor, where services have been received by the Company, in part, in exchange for equity instruments, based on the fair value of such services. The associated cost of these warrants has been recorded as capital raise costs and is included in additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Debt offering costs
Costs incurred in issuing debt, which includes underwriters’ fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and other fees are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the principal amount of senior notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized over the term of the debt and are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Other expenses
Other expenses are comprised of expenses relating to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts, as well as changes in value of embedded derivatives in reinsurance contracts and deposit liability contracts that have variable interest crediting features and changes in value of reinsurance contracts that meet the definition of a derivative contract. Variable and fixed interest crediting features are calculated on funds transferred to the Company where interest is credited based on actual cash received into a notional experience account. The ceding company can typically elect to commute at specific points in time in exchange for the amounts held in the notional experience account. For those contracts that contain variable interest crediting features, actual investment returns realized by the Company are included in the calculation, which can increase the overall effective interest crediting rate on those contracts. Variable interest credit features are accounted for as embedded derivatives. Fixed interest credits on reinsurance contracts and deposit liability contracts and changes in value of embedded derivative are included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
F-12
Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions involving monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date, and the related revenues and expenses are converted using specific rates for the period, as appropriate. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from these activities are reported in the consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period in which they arise.
Prior to the change in the investment account structure, certain of the Company's investments were denominated in foreign currencies and thus, were subject to the risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations. These investments were translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Company did not isolate the portion of the net investment income resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments, dividends and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of securities and derivatives held within the total net investments managed by Third Point LLC. Periodic payments received or paid on swap agreements were recorded as realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Such fluctuations were included within net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Income taxes, withholding taxes and uncertain tax positions
The Company provides for income taxes for its operations in income tax paying jurisdictions. The Company’s provision relies on estimates and interpretations of currently enacted tax laws. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such temporary differences are primarily due to tax basis discounts on loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and unearned premiums, deferred acquisition costs and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the benefits related to deferred tax assets will not be realized. Any adjustments to deferred income taxes are accounted for as changes in estimates and are reflected in the consolidated statements of income (loss) in the year in which they are made. Adjustments could be material and could significantly impact earnings in the year they are recorded.
Prior to the change in the investment account structure, certain of the Company's investments were subject to withholding tax obligations related to dividends, capital gains and interest on certain investments. These withholding taxes were recorded when they became payable and were included in income tax expense (benefit) in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company recognized uncertain tax positions related to certain investment transactions in foreign jurisdictions. The Company records its uncertain tax positions based on an estimate of the potential liability, including potential interests and penalties, arising from its investment transactions conducted in foreign countries. The changes in the Company’s uncertain tax position is included in income tax expense (benefit) in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss).
Variable interest entities
The Company accounts for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810 Consolidation, which requires the consolidation of all VIEs by the primary beneficiary, that being the investor that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and that will absorb a portion of the VIE’s expected losses or residual returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For VIEs the Company determines it has a variable interest in, it determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (i) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (ii) the VIE’s capital structure; (iii) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; (iv) which variable interest holders have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (v) which variable interest holders have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; and (vi) related party relationships. The Company reassesses its initial determination of
F-13
whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon changes in facts and circumstances that could potentially alter the Company’s assessment.
Noncontrolling interests
The Company consolidates the results of entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company records the portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interests as a separate line within shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the portion of net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests as a separate line within the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, options and unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding and includes any dilutive effects of warrants, options and unvested restricted shares under share plans and are determined using the treasury stock method. U.S. GAAP requires that unvested share awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (referred to as “participating securities”), be treated in the same manner as outstanding shares for earnings per share calculations. The Company treats certain of its unvested restricted shares as participating securities. In the event of a net loss, all participating securities, outstanding warrants, options and restricted shares are excluded from both basic and diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Comprehensive income
The Company has no comprehensive income other than net income disclosed in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Segment information
Under U.S. GAAP, operating segments are based on the internal information that management uses for allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company reports four operating segments: Accident & Health (“A&H”), Specialty, Property, and Runoff & Other. Where applicable, all prior periods presented have been revised to conform to this new presentation. Non-underwriting income and expenses, presented as a reconciliation to our consolidated results, include: net investment income, certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities, interest expense, foreign exchange losses and income tax (expense) benefit.
Treasury shares
Common shares repurchased by the Company and not canceled are classified as treasury shares. Treasury shares are recorded at cost, which results in a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. When shares are reissued from treasury, the Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of the reissued shares. Gains on sales of treasury shares are credited to additional paid-in capital, while losses are charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains from sales of treasury shares are included therein; otherwise, losses are charged to retained earnings.
F-14
Transfer of Financial Assets
The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets as sales when it has surrendered control over the related assets. Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. Gains and losses stemming from transfers reported as sales, if any, would be included as realized gains (losses) within net investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
In instances where a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for sale accounting, the accounting guidance requires that the transaction be accounted for as a collateralized borrowing. Accordingly, the related assets remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with attributable interest expense recognized over the life of the related transactions.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amended the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The amendments in ASU 2018-17 for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest require reporting entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety. ASU 2018-17 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2018-17 did not impact the Company’s assessment of its variable interest entity.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This new pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2020-01”). The amendments in ASU 2020-01 clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase
F-15
securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This new pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 (“ASU 2020-09”). The amendments in ASU 2020-09 amend and supersede SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Release No. 33-10762 related to financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities and affiliates whose securities are pledged as collateral for registered securities. ASU 2020-09 is effective January 4, 2021, but earlier compliance is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. Change in accounting policy
Premium revenue recognition
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premium recognition. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. For contracts where the full premium written was not estimable at inception, the Company recorded premium written for the portion of the contract period for which the amount was estimable.
The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies, managing general underwriters, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers or ceding companies.
The change in policy has been made because it is management’s opinion that the revised policy reflects the timing of when premiums are written by the cedent and reduces uncertainty regarding the assets and liabilities recorded.

Third Point Enhanced LP
On February 28, 2019, SiriusPoint, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (the “2019 LPA”) of TP Fund, effective January 1, 2019. The 2019 LPA amended and restated the Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (the “2018 LPA”) of TP Fund.
On August 6, 2020, SiriusPoint, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Third Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (“2020 LPA”) of TP Fund, which amended and restated the 2019 LPA, which will become effective at the closing of the merger with Sirius, except for the amendment to the calculation of the loss recovery account which became effective on December 31, 2020. The 2020 LPA updated the terms of the 2019 LPA to reflect adjustments to the loss carryforward terms for the year ended December 31, 2020. The performance of certain fixed income and other investments managed by Third Point LLC will now be considered when calculating the performance fee allocation and loss recovery account amounts under the terms of the 2019 LPA. Other material terms of the 2020 LPA will become effective upon closing of the merger.
The TP Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies. Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to single security analysis supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of the capital markets or in the pricing of particular securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures.
TP Fund meets the definition of a variable interest entity principally because of the existence of disproportionate rights in the partnership compared to the obligations to absorb the expected losses and right to receive the expected residual returns of TP Fund’s results. As of December 31, 2020, the Company and Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) hold interests of approximately 86.1% and 13.9%, respectively, of the net asset value of TP Fund. As a result,
F-20
both entities hold significant financial interests in TP Fund. However, TP GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP Fund. As a result, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate TP Fund. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no unfunded commitments related to TP Fund and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investments in TP Fund.
Under the 2019 LPA, the TPRE Limited Partners have the right to withdraw funds weekly from TP Fund to pay claims and expenses as needed, to meet capital adequacy requirements and to satisfy financing obligations. The TPRE Limited Partners may also withdraw their investment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2019 LPA and may withdraw their investment in full on December 31, 2021 and each successive three-year anniversary of such date.
Collateral and other investment assets
In addition to serving as the investment manager for TP Fund, Third Point LLC also serves as investment manager for the Company’s collateral and other investment assets, which consist of cash, U.S. Treasuries, sovereign debt, structured and corporate credit fixed income securities.
On July 31, 2018, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Collateral Assets Investment Management Agreement (the “2018 Collateral Assets IMA”) with Third Point LLC effective August 31, 2018, pursuant to which Third Point LLC serves as investment manager of certain collateral assets. The collateral assets are presented in the consolidated balance sheets within debt securities and restricted cash and cash equivalents, and are considered as part of total net investments managed by Third Point LLC.
On May 24, 2019, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the Amended and Restated Collateral Assets Investment Management Agreement (the “Amended Collateral Assets IMA”) with Third Point LLC, effective May 24, 2019, pursuant to which, in addition to serving as the investment manager for the Company’s collateral assets, Third Point LLC will serve as investment manager of certain investment assets withdrawn from TP Fund. The Amended Collateral Assets IMA will continue in effect thereafter so long as either Third Point Re BDA or Third Point Re USA remains a limited partner of TP Fund. The Company entered into the Amended Collateral Assets IMA to provide for Third Point LLC's management of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets that were reallocated from TP Fund into cash, U.S. Treasuries and other fixed income investments.
In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company expanded its fixed income portfolio by investing in structured credit and corporate credit securities such as corporate bonds and bank debt. The Company has also hedged part of the interest rate risk underlying these securities by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries which are included in securities sold, not yet purchased in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020.

The total change in unrealized gains (losses) on equity and debt securities held at the year ended December 31, 2020 were $nil and $10.5 million, respectively (2019 - $nil and $10.0 million, and 2018 - $nil and $(6.7) million, respectively).
Private common and preferred equity securities
Private common and preferred equity securities are those not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period. Valuation techniques used may include market approach, last transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the significant inputs could include but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue multiples or price-earnings ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, third party valuation firms may be employed to conduct investment valuations of such private securities. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, these are classified as Level 3.
Debt securities
Debt securities are priced using broker dealer quotes or a recognized third-party pricing vendor. The key inputs for corporate, government and sovereign bonds valuation are coupon frequency, coupon rate and underlying bond spread. The key inputs for asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are yield, probability of default, loss severity and prepayment.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s ABS holdings primarily consisted of private-label issued, non-investment grade securities, and none of these securities were guaranteed by a government sponsored entity. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. As an investor in these classes of ABS, the Company may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, the Company may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.
Investments in funds valued at NAV
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships, including its investment in related party investment fund, at fair value. The Company has elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on the Company’s share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income (loss). These investments are included in investment in funds valued at NAV and excluded from the presentation of investments categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the NAVs, the Company performs a number of monitoring procedures on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, to assess the quality of the information provided by the investment manager and fund administrator underlying the preparation of the NAV. These procedures include, but are not limited to, regular review and discussion of the fund’s performance with the investment manager.
Derivative Instruments
Embedded derivatives
The Company has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative reported in other expenses. The Company’s embedded derivatives relate to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts that vary based on the returns on the Company’s investments managed by Third Point LLC. The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives using models developed by the Company. As the significant inputs used to price embedded derivatives are unobservable, these are classified as Level 3.
F-23
Other derivatives
Other underwriting-related derivatives include 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.
The following table presents the reconciliation of all investments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to underwriting-related derivative assets and liabilities are included in other expenses, net of foreign exchange (gains) losses, in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Total change in unrealized gains (losses) on fair value of assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) held at the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.2 million (2019 - $nil and 2018 - $nil).
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no changes in the valuation techniques as they relate to the above.
7. Due from brokers
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company expanded its fixed income portfolio by investing in structured credit and corporate credit securities such as corporate bonds and bank debt. The Company has also hedged part of the interest rate risk underlying these securities by purchasing short positions in long duration U.S. Treasuries.
The Company holds substantially all of its fixed income investments through prime brokers pursuant to agreements between the Company and each prime broker. The brokerage arrangements differ from broker to broker, but generally cash and investments in securities are available as collateral against investments in securities sold, not yet purchased, if required.

Margin debt balances were collateralized by cash held by the broker and certain of the Company’s securities. Margin interest was paid either at the daily broker call rate or based on London Inter-bank Offered Rate. Amounts are borrowed through committed facilities with terms of up to 90 days, secured by assets of the Company held by the prime broker, and incur interest based on the Company’s negotiated rates. This interest expense is reflected in other net investment income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Reserving methodologies
The Company’s methodology for reserving for its reinsurance contracts and determining its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, including incurred but not reported reserves, is as follows:
The Company’s actuaries perform an actuarial projection of the Company’s reserves quarterly and have a third-party actuarial review performed periodically. Reserves are estimated on an individual contract basis. The Company typically initially reserves individual contracts to the expected loss and loss expense ratio in its pricing analysis. The Company also considers the level of adequacy of the pricing loss ratio estimates, and may make upward or downward adjustments in the aggregate reserves if there is evidence that the pricing loss ratio estimates are biased in one direction or the other. As loss information is received from cedents, the Company incorporates other actuarial methods into its projection of ultimate losses and, hence, reserves.
In the Company’s pricing analyses, there is a significant amount of information unique to the individual client and, when necessary, the analysis is supplemented with industry data. Industry data primarily takes the form of paid and incurred development patterns from statutory financial statements and statistical agencies. For the Company’s actuarial reserve projections, the relevant information received from clients includes premium estimates, paid loss and loss adjustment expenses and case reserves. The Company’s actuaries review the data for reasonableness and research any noted anomalies. On each contract, the Company’s actuaries compare the expected paid and incurred amounts at each quarter-end with actual amounts reported. The Company’s actuaries also compare premiums received with projected premium receipts at each quarter end.
There is a time lag between when a covered loss event occurs and when it is reported to the Company’s cedents. There is also a time lag between when clients pay claims, establish case reserves and re-estimate their reserves, and when they notify the Company of the payments and/or new or revised case reserves. This reporting lag is typically 60 to 90 days after the end of a reporting period, but can be longer in some cases. The Company’s actuaries use techniques that adjust for this reporting lag. While it would be unusual to have lags that extend beyond 90 days, the Company’s actuarial techniques are designed to adjust for such a circumstance.
The principal actuarial methods (and associated key assumptions) used to perform the Company’s quarterly loss reserve analysis may include one or more of the following methods:
A priori loss ratio method
To estimate ultimate losses using the a priori loss ratio method, the Company multiplies earned premiums by an expected loss ratio. The expected loss ratio is selected as part of the pricing and utilizes individual client data, supplemented by industry data where necessary. This method is often useful when there is limited historical data due to few losses being incurred.
Paid loss development method
This method estimates ultimate losses by calculating past paid loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected paid loss development. The paid loss development method assumes that losses are paid at a rate consistent with the historical rate of payment. It provides an objective test of reported loss projections because paid losses contain no case reserve estimates. For some lines of business, claim payments are made slowly and it may take many years for claims to be fully reported and settled.
Incurred loss development method
This method estimates ultimate losses by using past incurred loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected incurred loss development. Since incurred losses include payments and case reserves, changes in both of these amounts are incorporated in this method. This approach provides a larger volume of data to estimate ultimate losses than paid loss methods. Thus, incurred loss patterns may be less varied than paid loss patterns, especially for coverages that have historically been paid out over a long period of time but for which claims are incurred relatively early and case loss reserve estimates are established.
F-27
Bornhuetter-Ferguson paid and incurred loss methods
These methods are a weighted average of the a priori loss ratio method and the relevant development method. The weighting between the two methods depends on the maturity of the business. This means that for the more recent years a greater weight is placed on the a priori loss ratio method, while for the more mature years a greater weight is placed on the development methods. These methods avoid some of the distortions that could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of paid or incurred losses to calculate ultimate losses. This method will react slowly if actual paid or incurred loss experience develops differently than historical paid or incurred loss experience because of major changes in rate levels, retentions or deductibles, the forms and conditions of coverage, the types of risks covered or a variety of other factors.
IBNR to outstanding ratio method
This method is used in selected cases typically for very mature years that still have open claims. This method assumes that the estimated future loss development is indicated by the current level of case reserves.
Key to the projection of ultimate loss is the amount of credibility or weight assigned to each actuarial method. Each method has advantages and disadvantages, and those can change depending on numerous factors including the reliability of the underlying data. The selection and weighting of the projection methods is a highly subjective process. In order to achieve a desirable amount of consistency from study to study and between contracts, the Company’s actuaries have implemented a weighting scheme that incorporates numerous “rules” for the weighting of actuarial methods. These rules attempt to effectively standardize the process used for selecting weights for the various methods. There are numerous circumstances where the rules would be modified for specific reinsurance contracts; examples would include a large market event or new information on historical years that may cause us to increase our a priori loss ratio.
As part of the Company’s quarterly reserving process, loss-sensitive contingent expenses (e.g., profit commissions, sliding-scale ceding commissions, etc.) are calculated on an individual contract basis. These expense calculations are based on the updated ultimate loss estimates derived from the Company's quarterly reserving process.
The Company’s reserving methodologies use a loss reserving model that calculates a point estimate for the Company’s ultimate losses. Although the Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies are reasonable, the ultimate payments may vary, potentially materially, from the estimates that the Company has made.
Catastrophe event estimates
Some of the Company’s contracts are exposed to losses from catastrophes (either natural catastrophes or man-made catastrophes). Given the high-severity, low-frequency nature of these events, the losses typically generated therefrom do not lend themselves to traditional actuarial reserving methods, such as those described above. Therefore, our reserving approach for these types of coverages is to estimate the ultimate cost associated with a single loss event rather than analyzing the historical development patterns of past losses for estimating ultimate losses for an entire contract. We estimate our reserves for these catastrophe events on a contract-by-contract basis by means of a review of policies with known or potential exposure to a particular loss event. We consider the following information when making these contract-by-contract estimates of catastrophe event losses: information provided by cedents and brokers; industry loss estimates; catastrophe model output; and the terms and conditions of the contracts with exposure to those events. Initial estimates are established in the period that a catastrophe event occurs and are then monitored each subsequent quarter, considering the latest information available.
There were no significant changes made to the Company’s methodology for calculating loss and loss adjustment reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Changes in the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves result from re-estimating loss reserves and from changes in premium earnings estimates. Furthermore, many of the Company’s contracts have sliding scale or profit commissions whereby loss reserve development can be offset by changes in acquisition costs that vary inversely with loss experience. In some instances, the Company can have loss reserve development on contracts where there is no sliding scale or profit commission or where the loss ratio falls outside of the loss ratio range to which the sliding scale or profit commission applies.
The $33.8 million net increase in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes $18.8 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts and $15.0 million of net adverse reserve development related to increases in loss reserve estimates. The net increase in loss reserves as well as the changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions is explained as follows:
•The $18.8 million net increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates was accompanied by a $5.0 million increase in acquisition costs, for a total of $23.8 million increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs. The increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs was due to an increase in prior period earned premium of $27.9 million. The increase in prior period earned premium was the result of changes in ultimate premium and earning pattern estimates. The net impact was a $4.1 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2020.
•The $15.0 million of net adverse prior years’ reserve development related to increases in loss reserve estimates for the year ended December 31, 2020 was accompanied by net increases of $11.8 million in acquisition costs and net decreases of $7.8 million in earned premium, resulting in a $34.6 million increase in net underwriting loss, primarily due to:
•$19.9 million and $18.9 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability and multi-line contracts, respectively, as a result of worse than expected loss
F-29
experience. The adverse underwriting loss development is a result of accumulated loss experience and cedent reserving increases, indicating that underlying casualty loss trends are higher than initial pricing and reserving, consistent with the industry impact of social inflation. In addition, the current elevated level of uncertainty makes historical data less applicable for future projections, and has contributed to an increase in the estimate of ultimate losses on certain accounts; partially offset by
•$7.6 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience; and
•$2.4 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable prior years’ reserve development of $21.6 million associated with this contract was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $19.2 million.
•In total, the change in net underwriting loss for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates resulted in a $30.5 million increase in net underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unamortized deferred charges of $6.0 million (December 31, 2019 - $6.7 million) relating to retroactive reinsurance contracts. Deferred charges on retroactive contracts are recorded in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The $86.5 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $98.5 million of net favorable reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates, partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts. The net decrease in loss reserves as well as the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions is explained as follows:
•The $98.5 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2019 was accompanied by net increases of $100.9 million in acquisition costs and net increases of $7.8 million in earned premium, resulting in a $5.4 million improvement in the net underwriting results, primarily due to:
•$14.9 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our workers’ compensation contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
•$3.5 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to our non-standard auto contracts as a result of better than expected loss experience;
•$0.5 million of improvement in net underwriting loss development relating to one retroactive reinsurance contract as a result of better than expected loss experience. This retroactive reinsurance contract had profit commission terms such that the net favorable reserve development associated with this contract of $69.4 million was offset by an increase in acquisition costs of $68.9 million; partially offset by
•$8.8 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our general liability contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience; and
•$8.1 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our multi-line contracts as a result of worse than expected loss experience.
•The $12.0 million net increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates was accompanied by a $7.2 million decrease in acquisition costs, for a total of $4.8 million increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs. The increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs was due to an increase in prior period earned premium of $3.1 million. The increase in prior period earned premium was the result of changes in ultimate premium and earning pattern estimates. The net impact was a $1.7 million increase in net underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.
F-30
•In total, the change in net underwriting loss for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates resulted in a $3.7 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The $4.1 million net increase in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes $12.9 million of net favorable reserve development related to decreases in loss reserve estimates and $17.0 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts. The net increase in loss reserves as well as the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions is explained as follows:
•The $12.9 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2018 was accompanied by net increases of $7.7 million in acquisition costs, resulting in a $5.2 million improvement in the net underwriting results, primarily due to:
•$15.8 million of net favorable underwriting loss development relating to workers’ compensation, multi-line and credit and financial lines contracts. The favorable development was the result of better than expected loss experience and was partially offset by;
•$10.5 million of net adverse underwriting loss development primarily relating to our general liability and homeowners’ contracts, as a result of worse than expected loss experience.
•The $17.0 million net increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates was accompanied by a $5.4 million increase in acquisition costs, for a total of $22.4 million increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs. The increase in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs was due to an increase in prior period earned premium of $23.4 million. The increase in prior period earned premium was the result of changes in ultimate premium and earning pattern estimates. The net impact was a $1.0 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2018.
•In total, the change in net underwriting loss for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates resulted in a $6.2 million improvement in the net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Incurred and paid development tables by accident year
The Company manages its business on the basis of four operating segments, accident & health, specialty, property and runoff & other. The Company has disaggregated its loss information presented in the tables below by prospective and retroactive reinsurance. For its prospective reinsurance business, the Company further disaggregated by the different lines of business included in this segment. The Company’s retroactive reinsurance contracts have been presented by year of inception. The Company’s retroactive reinsurance contracts within each inception year share similar characteristics and as a result, have not been disaggregated further. The Company has presented the below development tables for all accident years shown using exchange rates as at December 31, 2020. All accident years prior to the current year have been restated and presented using the current year exchange rate.
The Company’s loss reserve analysis is based primarily on underwriting year data. The preparation of accident year development tables requires an allocation of underwriting year data to the corresponding accident years. For instance, a contract written in one particular underwriting year may have exposure to losses from two or more accident years. These allocations are done using accident year loss payment and reporting patterns, along with premium earnings patterns. These patterns are derived from either company-specific or industry historical loss data, depending on availability and applicability. The Company believes that its allocations are reasonable; however, to the extent that the Company’s allocation procedure for loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred differs from actual historical development, the actual loss development may differ materially from the loss development presented.
As described in the roll forward of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves section above, changes in the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves result from both re-estimating loss reserves as well as changes
F-31
in premium estimates. In addition, many of the Company’s contracts have sliding scale or profit commissions whereby loss reserve development can be offset by changes in acquisition costs. See additional disclosure above on the net impact on underwriting income after considering the impact of changes in premium estimates and the impact of acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Property and Casualty Reinsurance - Retroactive Reinsurance Contracts
The Company writes reinsurance contracts that provide limited protection against adverse development on loss originating from multiple accident years. The Company has other retroactive exposure within contracts that provide primarily prospective coverage. These contracts are included in the prospective reinsurance tables above. These contracts are typically part of prospective reinsurance contracts with a small portion of retroactive exposure resulting from the delay between the dates when the relevant contract was bound and the dates on which each incepted. The information below includes loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net and loss and loss adjustment expenses paid, net, by accident year for the Company's retroactive reinsurance contracts presented by year of inception of the retroactive reinsurance contracts.
The Company's estimate for loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, at inception of all retroactive reinsurance contracts entered into to date was the same when the contract incepted and at the relevant year end position. As a result, there was no development in the year of inception for any of the Company's retroactive reinsurance contracts written to date. In addition, there were no loss and loss adjustment expenses paid, net, at inception of the Company's retroactive reinsurance contracts. The information related to loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net and net loss and loss adjustment expenses paid for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2019 is presented as supplementary information and is unaudited.

Cumulative claims frequency
The Company determined that the disclosure of claim frequency analysis was impracticable. As a result, no claims frequency information has been disclosed. The Company’s business is primarily comprised of reinsurance contracts written on a quota share or aggregate loss basis and the underlying claim count information is not provided for most contracts. Furthermore, even if claim counts were made available by the Company’s cedents, the quota share cession
F-49
percentage varies for each contract, resulting in the cedent claim counts not being a meaningful measure of the Company’s loss exposure.
Claims duration
The following table is presented as supplementary information and presents the Company’s historical average annual percentage payout of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net by age, as of December 31, 2020:

The Company was incorporated on October 6, 2011, commenced underwriting operations in January 2012 and predominantly writes a mix of personal and commercial lines. As a result, the Company has limited historical data and is unable to present a full cycle of claim payments.
10. Reinsurance premiums ceded (as adjusted - see Note 3)
From time to time, the Company purchases retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to manage its overall exposure, to reduce its net liability on individual risks, to obtain additional underwriting capacity and to balance its underwriting portfolio. Additionally, retrocession can be used as a mechanism to share the risks and rewards of business written and therefore can be used as a tool to align the Company’s interests with those of its counterparties. Premiums ceded for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $46.3 million, $11.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable from the retrocessionaire are recorded as assets. Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to the insureds. Failure of
F-50
retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable of $14.4 million (December 31, 2019 - $5.5 million). The Company generally obtains retrocessional coverage from companies rated “A-” or better by AM Best Company, Inc. unless the retrocessionaire’s obligations are collateralized.
11. Management and performance fees
Prior to the change in the Company’s investment account structure, SiriusPoint, Third Point Re BDA, TPRUSA and Third Point Re USA were parties to the Amended and Restated Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreements (the “JV Agreements”) with Third Point LLC and TP GP under which Third Point LLC managed certain jointly held assets.
Effective August 31, 2018, SiriusPoint, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the 2018 LPA with TP GP, pursuant to which Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA invested in the TP Fund. Effective January 1, 2019, SiriusPoint, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA entered into the 2019 LPA, together with the 2018 LPA the “LPA”, which amended and restated the 2018 LPA.
Management fees
Pursuant to both the JV Agreements and the LPA, Third Point LLC is entitled to receive monthly management fees. Prior to the change in the Company’s investment account structure, management fees were calculated based on 1.5%, of net investments managed by Third Point LLC. As a result of the 2018 LPA effective August 31, 2018, management fees are charged at the TP Fund level and were calculated based on 1.5% of the investment in TP Fund and multiplied by an exposure multiplier computed by dividing the average daily investment exposure leverage of the TP Fund by the average daily investment exposure leverage of the Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P. (“Offshore Master Fund”). Third Point LLC also serves as the investment manager for the Offshore Master Fund. As a result of the 2019 LPA effective January 1, 2019, the management fee was revised from 1.5% to 1.25% per annum, with no change to the calculation as part of the 2018 LPA.
There are no management fees associated with the management of the other investment assets managed by Third Point LLC.
Performance fees
Pursuant to both the JV Agreements and the LPA, TP GP receives a performance fee allocation. Prior to the change in the Company’s investment account structure, the performance fee allocation was equal to 20% of the net investment income of the applicable company’s share of the net investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. As a result of the 2018 LPA effective August 31, 2018, the performance fee allocation is equal to 20% of the Company’s investment income in TP Fund.
As a result of the 2018 LPA effective August 31, 2018, the performance fee is included as part of “Investment in related party investment fund” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet since the fees are charged at the TP Fund level.
The performance fee is subject to a loss carryforward provision pursuant to which TP GP is required to maintain a loss recovery account, which represents the sum of all prior period net loss amounts and not subsequently offset by prior year net profit amounts, and that is allocated to future profit amounts until the loss recovery account has returned to a positive balance. Until such time, no performance fees are payable, provided that the loss recovery account balance shall be reduced proportionately to reflect any withdrawals from TP Fund. The 2019 LPA preserves the loss carryforward attributable to our investment in TP Fund when contributions to TP Fund are made within nine months of certain types of withdrawals from TP Fund.
Pursuant to the 2020 LPA, the performance of certain fixed income and other investments managed by Third Point LLC are now included when calculating the performance fee allocation and loss recovery account amounts under the terms of the 2019 LPA for the year ended December 31, 2020.
F-51
As of December 31, 2020, the loss recovery account for Third Point Re BDA’s investment in TP Fund was $nil (December 31, 2019 - $nil) and for Third Point Re USA’s investment in TP Fund was $nil (December 31, 2019 - $0.5 million). These amounts have not been recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

13. Senior Notes payable and letter of credit facilities
Senior Notes payable
As of December 31, 2020, TPRUSA had outstanding debt obligations consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) due February 13, 2025. The Notes bear interest at 7.0% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SiriusPoint, and, in certain circumstances specified in the indenture governing the Notes, certain existing or future subsidiaries of the Company may be required to guarantee the Notes. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had capitalized $0.7 million of costs associated with the Notes, which are presented as a direct deduction from the principal amount of the Notes on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the Notes had an estimated fair value of $117.8 million (December 31, 2019 - $121.7 million). The fair value measurements were based on observable inputs and therefore were considered to be Level 2. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company provides for income tax expense or benefit based upon pre-tax income or loss reported in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. The Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and are subject to Bermuda law with respect to taxation. Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are not subject to any income or capital gains taxes in Bermuda. In the event that such taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries would be exempted from any such taxes until March 2035 under the Tax Assurance Certificates issued to such entities pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, as amended.
The Company has an operating subsidiary incorporated in Bermuda, Third Point Re USA, which made an election to pay tax in the United States of America under Section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries would become subject to U.S. federal income tax only to the extent that they derive income from activity that is deemed to be the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
The Company also has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, TPRUK and Third Point Re UK, which are subject to applicable taxes in that jurisdiction.
The Company had recorded uncertain tax positions related to certain investment transactions in certain foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued $1.6 million (December 31, 2019 - $1.5 million).

The deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were primarily related to U.S. income tax. To evaluate the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, the Company considers the timing of the reversal of deferred income and expense items as well as the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize future tax benefits. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income and realize the future tax benefits in order to recover the deferred assets and, accordingly, no valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, deferred tax assets included $48.5 million related to net operating loss carryforwards. A portion of the net operating losses generated

19. Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in consolidated subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company.
Arcadian
In September 2020, the Company co-founded Arcadian, a managing general agent incorporated in Bermuda writing business on behalf of the Company. The Company’s ownership in Arcadian as of December 31, 2020 was 49%, representing 980,000 common shares at $1.00 par value. The Company has determined that Arcadian has the characteristics of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that are addressed by the guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). Arcadian is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Arcadian as it has power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Arcadian. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Arcadian in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s financial exposure to Arcadian is limited to its investment in Arcadian’s common shares and other financial support up to $18.0 million through an unsecured promissory note. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020 and began writing business on behalf of the Company.

No allocation of the net loss has been made to participating shares in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
21. Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk or concentrations of credit risk
Off-balance sheet risk
There are no off-balance sheet risks associated with the Company’s investment in TP Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with its investment in the TP Fund corresponds to the carrying value of its investments in TP Fund.
F-62
Concentrations of credit risk
Investments
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with its investment in the TP Fund corresponds to the carrying value of its investments in TP Fund. The Company does not have any unfunded capital commitments associated with its investment in TP Fund.
Underwriting
The Company is exposed to credit risk through reinsurance contracts with companies that write credit risk insurance. The Company’s portfolio of risk is predominantly U.S. mortgage insurance and mortgage credit risk transfer. The Company provides its clients in these lines of business with reinsurance protection against credit deterioration, defaults or other types of financial non-performance. Loss experience in these lines of business has been very good but is cyclical and is affected by the state of the general economic environment. The Company proactively manages the risks associated with these credit-sensitive lines of business by closely monitoring its risk aggregation and by diversifying the underlying risks where possible. The Company has bought some retrocessional coverage against a subset of these risks.
The Company has exposure to credit risk as it relates to its business written through brokers, if any of the Company’s brokers are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations with respect to payments to the Company. In addition, in some jurisdictions, if the broker fails to make payments to the insured under the Company’s policy, the Company may remain liable to the insured for the deficiency. The Company’s exposure to such credit risk is somewhat mitigated in certain jurisdictions by contractual terms.
The Company has exposure to credit risk related to balances receivable under our reinsurance contracts, including funds withheld and premiums receivable, and the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations to the Company. The risk of counterparty default is partially mitigated by the fact that any amount owed from a reinsurance counterparty would be netted against any losses or acquisition costs the Company would pay in the future. The Company monitors the collectability of these balances on a regular basis.
22. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is to be renamed SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint”) following the Merger.
In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), dated as of August 6, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan committed to provide a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Bridge Facility”) to finance the Merger.

The Company will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Bridge Facility.
On September 25, 2020, the Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter.

23. Segment reporting (as adjusted - see Note 3)
The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of its operations. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company reports four operating segments: Accident & Health (“A&H”), Specialty, Property, and Runoff & Other. Where applicable, all prior periods presented have been revised to conform to this new presentation. Non-underwriting income and expenses are presented as a reconciliation to the Company’s income (loss) before income tax expense. The Company does not manage its assets by segment; accordingly, total assets are not allocated to the segments.
Accident & Health
Global A&H
The Company is a reinsurer of medical expense, travel and personal accident on a treaty or facultative basis worldwide.

Mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that compensates lenders or investors for losses arising from the default of a mortgage loan. Mortgage insurance can refer to private mortgage insurance, mortgage life insurance or insurance provided under the credit risk sharing transactions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition to mortgage reinsurance, policies classified as Credit may include trade credit, surety, financial guarantee, residual value insurance and title insurance.
Casualty

Other Specialty
The principal lines of business included in our Other Specialty line is primarily comprised of multi-line specialty reinsurance and contingency.
Multi-line reinsurance is reinsurance of an underlying portfolio of several different types of insurance or reinsurance risks. The Company focuses on multi-line reinsurance opportunities where the Company has expertise in the underlying lines of business or where the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contract minimize the volatility of the more difficult to analyze classes of business in the portfolio. Contracts that cover more than one line of business will typically be designated as multi-line even if a portion of the underlying business is covered by one of the lines of business listed above. These opportunities can be structured on both a proportional and excess of loss basis.
The Company’s contingency insurance book covers event cancellation and non-appearance.
F-66
Property
Property consists of the Company’s underwriting lines of business which offer Property Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance and Property Risk and Pro Rata on a worldwide basis. The following provides details of Property by product line:

We carefully monitor and manage our risk aggregations by peril and geography and we seek to manage volatility via portfolio construction and client selection.
Property Risk and Pro Rata
This line of reinsurance primarily consists of exposure to homeowners’ and commercial lines insurance coverage. We provide structured surplus relief transactions covering property exposures where the expected volatility and reinsurance margins are lower.

24. Statutory requirements
Under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978, as amended, and related regulations, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA are subject to capital requirements calculated using the Bermuda Solvency and Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model, which is a standardized statutory risk-based capital model used to measure the risk associated with Third Point Re BDA’s and Third Point Re USA’s assets, liabilities and premiums. Third Point Re BDA’s and Third Point Re USA’s required statutory capital and surplus under the BSCR model is referred to as the enhanced capital requirement (“ECR”). Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA are required to calculate and submit the ECR to the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), annually. Following receipt of the submission of Third Point Re BDA’s and Third Point Re USA’s ECR, the BMA has the authority to impose additional capital requirements (capital add-ons) if it deems necessary. If a company fails to maintain or meet its ECR, the BMA may take various degrees of regulatory action. In 2016, the BMA implemented the economic balance sheet (“EBS”) framework, which is now used as the basis to determine the Company’s ECR. Under this framework, assets and liabilities are mainly assessed and included on the EBS at fair value, with the insurer’s U.S. GAAP balance sheet serving as a starting point. The model also requires insurers to estimate insurance technical provisions, which consist of the insurer’s insurance related balances valued based on best-estimate cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money using a risk-free discount rate, with the addition of a risk margin to reflect the uncertainty in the underlying cash flows. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA met their ECR.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the principal difference between statutory capital and surplus and shareholders’ equity presented in accordance with GAAP is that prepaid expenses is a non-admitted asset for statutory purposes.
Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA are also required under their Class 4 licenses to maintain minimum liquidity ratios whereby the value of their relevant assets are not less than 75% of the amount of their relevant liabilities for general business. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA met their minimum liquidity ratio requirements.
The following is a summary of estimated actual and required statutory capital and surplus, based on the EBS framework, of Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

As of December 31, 2020, Third Point Re BDA could pay dividends in 2021 of approximately $316.7 million (December 31, 2019 - $314.5 million) without providing an affidavit to the BMA.
