Summary of significant accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies	Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2019, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements present the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and those entities in which the Company has control and a majority economic interest as well as those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that meet the requirements for consolidation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2018 included herein has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2018. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. Tabular dollar amounts are in millions, with the exception of share and per share amounts. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars, except where noted otherwise. Recently adopted changes in accounting principles Leases Effective January 1, 2019, Sirius Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842) which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for both operating and financing leases, with the exception of leases with an original term of 12 months or less. Under previous guidance, recognition of lease assets and liabilities was not required for operating leases. The new guidance requires that lease assets and liabilities to be recognized and measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Sirius Group adopted the new guidance using the simplified transition option that allows companies to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Sirius Group also made the following elections: · Sirius Group elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases upon transition. · Sirius Group did not elect the hindsight practical expedient upon transition, for all leases. · Sirius Group elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, resulting in lease payments being recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. · Sirius Group elected to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component for all leases. · Sirius Group did not elect the land easement practical expedient as it was not applicable. As a result of the adoption of the new guidance, Sirius Group recognized a lease liability of $36.8 million, which represents the present value of our remaining lease payments and a right-of-use asset of $34.4 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows. Due to the adoption of the standard using the retrospective cumulative-effect adjustment method, there are no changes to our previously reported results prior to January 1, 2019. Lease expense is not expected to change materially as a result of the adoption of the new guidance. (See Note 18.) Premium amortization on callable debt securities Effective January 1, 2019, Sirius Group adopted ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASC 310-20), which changes the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, for investments in callable debt securities held at a premium, the premium will be amortized over the period to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the amortization period for callable debt securities held at a discount. The adoption of this guidance did not have significant effect on our financial statements. Recent accounting pronouncements Credit losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), which establishes new guidance for the recognition of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The new guidance, which applies to financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash, including reinsurance receivables and recoverables, requires reporting entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of a credit exposure using historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial asset. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Sirius Group is evaluating the expected impact of this new guidance.

Significant transactions	Note 3. Significant transactions Easterly Acquisition Corp. On November 5, 2018, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Easterly Acquisition Corp. (“Easterly”) merged with Sirius Acquisitions Holding Company III and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger, Easterly’s common stock was exchanged for the Company’s common shares at an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) calculated as (i) the amount of cash per public share of Easterly common stock in Easterly’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) immediately prior to the closing of the Merger divided by (ii) (x) 1.05 multiplied by (y) Sirius Group’s adjusted diluted book value per common share as of September 30, 2018 (“Sirius Group September 30 Adjusted DBVPS”). Based on the Sirius Group September 30 Adjusted DBVPS, estimated as of September 30, 2018, and funds in the Trust Account on November 5, 2018, the Exchange Ratio was equal to 0.609. Following the Merger, the Company’s common shares are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SG.” Easterly held a special meeting of Easterly stockholders on November 2, 2018 to approve the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Easterly Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Easterly’s other stockholders approved each of the proposals presented at the special meeting. After the special meeting, but prior to the consummation of the Merger, certain Easterly public stockholders exercised their redemption rights as provided for by Easterly’s charter. In total, out of the Trust Account balance of $149.0 million, there were $109.7 million of redemptions by Easterly public stockholders, which decreased the amount of cash in the Trust Account available for general corporate purposes following the Merger. After the redemption of shares held by Easterly’s public stockholders, there was $39.3 million in the Trust Account. This resulted in the issuance of 2,280,241 common shares to Easterly public stockholders. Pursuant to the letter agreement among Easterly, the Sponsor and the Company (the “Sponsor Letter”), the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the closing of the Merger were cancelled. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding public warrant was converted into a warrant exercisable for Company common shares. The number of Company common shares subject to converted warrants was equal to the number of shares of Easterly common stock subject to each Easterly warrant immediately prior to the closing of the Merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and each converted warrant had an exercise price per Company common share equal to the exercise price per share of Easterly common stock subject to such Easterly warrant immediately prior to the closing of the Merger divided by the Exchange Ratio. This resulted in the issuance of 6,088,535 converted warrants. Sirius Group Private Placement In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company completed a private placement of Series B preference shares, common shares, and warrants (the “Sirius Group Private Placement”) at a price per share equal to (i) 1.05 multiplied by (ii) the Sirius Group September 30 Adjusted DBVPS, or $17.22447. Investors in the Sirius Group Private Placement included affiliated funds of Gallatin Point Capital, The Carlyle Group, Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and Bain Capital Credit (the "Preference Share Investors"), together with certain employees, directors and “friends & family. The Sirius Group Private Placement raised proceeds of $226.1 million, resulting in the purchase of: · 11,901,670 Series B preference shares with a cost basis of $195.8 million, · 1,225,954 of Common shares with a cost basis of $20.8 million, · 5,418,434 warrants that are exercisable for common shares for a period of five years after the Merger at a strike price equal to 125% of the per share purchase price, or $21.53 with a cost basis of $9.6 million. · Issuance costs of $2.0 million ESPP In connection with the Merger, Sirius Group implemented the Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which provided all employees of Sirius Group with a one-time opportunity to purchase between 100 and 1,000 Company common shares at a price equal to 85% of market value for the first 100 shares and 100% of market value for the next 900 shares. For this purpose, market value of the Company common shares was equal to 1.05 times the Sirius Group September 30 Adjusted DBVPS. Employees had the option of paying for the shares upfront or, in the case of employees who are not executive officers, through a loan that is repaid over a two-year period through payroll deductions. Through the ESPP, 405 employees purchased 149,236 Company common shares prior to the consummation of the Merger, with a cost basis of $2.6 million. Gross proceeds of the cash in the Easterly Trust Account assumed by Sirius Group upon the closing of the Merger, the Sirius Group Private Placement, and the ESPP sum to $268.0 million. Common shares redemption agreement In connection with the Merger, the Company and CM Bermuda Ltd. (“CM Bermuda”), the sole holder of the Company’s common shares prior to the Merger, entered into a redemption agreement, dated November 2, 2018 (the “CM Bermuda Redemption Agreement”), pursuant to which, effective as of the closing of the Merger, the Company redeemed 9,519,280 of the Company’s common shares at a price per share equal to $17.22447 for $164.0 million, which was paid on November 16, 2018. Also in connection with the Merger, on November 16, 2018 the Company completed a post-closing adjustment of $1.6 million that was settled in cash with CM Bermuda based on the reported book value per share of $16.44 as of September 30, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Sirius Group incurred certain contractual costs associated with the Merger of $9.0 million and $7.1 million of various legal, advisory, and other consulting costs for the Merger and the Private Placement that were charged to Additional paid-in surplus. Series A preference shares redemption agreement In connection with the Merger, the Company, IMG Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“IMGAH”) and Sirius Acquisitions Holding Company II completed the transactions contemplated by its previously announced redemption agreement and the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series A redeemable preference shares, which were held by IMGAH, for $95.0 million in cash. Effective as of the completion of the redemption, the parties terminated the registration rights agreement and the shareholder’s agreement between the Company and IMGAH. In addition, the parties agreed that any remaining contingent consideration in respect of the IMG acquisition, will be paid in cash, not in Series A redeemable preference shares as previously contemplated in the agreement in respect of the IMG acquisition. WRM America Indemnity Company, Inc. On August 16, 2018, Sirius Group acquired 100% ownership of WRM America Indemnity Company, Inc. (“WRM America”) from WRM America Indemnity Holding Company, LLC for $16.9 million in cash. WRM America is a New York-domiciled insurer with a run-off book of business mainly comprised of general liability, educator’s legal liability, automobile liability and physical damage, property and excess catastrophe liability. As part of the purchase of WRM America, Sirius Group acquired $3.1 million of indefinite lived intangible assets related to insurance licenses.

Segment information
Segment information	Note 4. Segment information Sirius Group classifies its business into four reportable segments – Global Property, Global A&H, Specialty & Casualty , and Runoff & Other. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those used for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Global Property, Global A&H, Specialty & Casualty, and Runoff & Other reportable segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company. The CEO assesses segment operating performance, allocates capital, and makes resource allocation decisions based on Technical profit (loss), Underwriting profit (loss), and Underwriting profit (loss), including net service fee revenue. Segment results are shown prior to corporate eliminations. Corporate eliminations are shown to reconcile to consolidated Technical profit (loss), consolidated Underwriting profit (loss) and consolidated Underwriting profit (loss), including net service fee revenue. Sirius Group does not allocate its assets by segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and, accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each segment. Global Property Global Property consists of Sirius Group’s underwriting lines of business which offer other property insurance and reinsurance, property catastrophe excess reinsurance, and agriculture reinsurance on a worldwide basis: Other Property —Sirius Group participates in the broker market for property reinsurance treaties written on a proportional and excess of loss basis. For Sirius Group’s international business, the book consists of treaty, written on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, facultative, and primary business, primarily in Europe, Asia and Latin America. In the United States, the book predominantly centers on significant participations on proportional and excess of loss treaties mostly in the excess and surplus lines segment of the market. Property Catastrophe Excess —Property catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties cover losses from catastrophic events. Sirius Group writes a worldwide book with the largest concentration of exposure in Europe and the United States. The U.S. book written in Bermuda has a national account focus supporting principally the lower and/or middle layers of large capacity programs. Additionally, Stockholm writes a U.S. book mainly consisting of select small regional and standard lines carriers. The exposures written in the international book are diversified across many countries, regions, perils and layers. Agriculture —Sirius Group provides stop-loss reinsurance coverage to companies writing U.S. government-sponsored multi-peril crop insurance (“MPCI”). Sirius Group’s participation is net of the government’s stop-loss reinsurance protection. Sirius Group also provides coverage for crop-hail and certain named perils when bundled with MPCI business. Sirius Group also writes agriculture business outside of the United States. Global A&H The Global A&H operating segment consists of Sirius Group’s insurance, reinsurance, and managing general underwriting (“MGU”) units (which include Armada and IMG) that offer accident and health products on a worldwide basis: Accident and Health insurance and reinsurance —Sirius Group is an insurer of accident and health insurance business in the United States, either on an admitted or surplus lines basis, as well as international business written through wholly-owned IMG. Armada business is written on an admitted basis. Sirius Group also writes proportional and excess reinsurance treaties covering employer medical stop-loss for per person (specific) and per employer (aggregate) exposures. In addition, Sirius Group writes some medical, health, travel and personal accident coverages written on a treaty, facultative and primary basis. Specialty & Casualty Specialty & Casualty consists of Sirius Group’s insurance and reinsurance underwriting units which offer specialty & casualty product lines on a worldwide basis. Specialty lines represent unique risks where the more difficult and unusual risks are underwritten. Because specialty lines tend to be the more unusual or higher risks, much of the market is characterized by a high degree of specialization: Aviation & Space provides aviation insurance that covers loss of or damage to an aircraft and the aircraft operations’ liability to passengers, cargo and hull as well as to third parties. Additionally, liability arising out of non-aircraft operations such as hangars, airports and aircraft products can be covered. Space insurance primarily covers loss of or damage to a satellite during launch and in orbit. The book consists of treaty, written on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, facultative, and primary business. Marine provides marine 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. Sirius Group also writes yacht business, both on reinsurance and a primary basis. The marine portfolio is diversified across many countries and regions. Trade Credit writes credit and bond reinsurance worldwide. The bulk of the business is traditional short-term commercial credit insurance, covering pre-agreed domestic and export sales of goods and services with typical coverage periods of 60 to 120 days. Losses under these policies are correlated to adverse changes in a respective country’s gross national product. Contingency underwrites contingency insurance for event cancellation and non-appearance, primarily on a primary policy and facultative reinsurance basis. Additionally, coverage for liabilities arising from contractual bonus, prize redemption and over-redemption is also offered. The contingency portfolio is diversified across many countries and regions.

The most significant increases in loss reserve estimates were recorded in Global Property ($11.6 million) and Global A&H ($5.1 million). The unfavorable loss reserve development in Global Property was primarily attributable to higher than expected reporting from prior year catastrophe events ($15.6 million) mainly Hurricanes Irma, Michael, and Florence. Unfavorable loss reserve development in Runoff & Other ($1.2 million) was more than offset by favorable loss reserve development in Specialty & Casualty ($1.3 million). Loss and LAE development - Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Sirius Group had net favorable loss reserve development of $2.5 million. The major reductions in loss reserve estimates were recorded in Runoff & Other ($8.9 million),Specialty & Casualty ($7.1 million), and Global A&H ($3.7 million). Favorable loss reserve development for Runoff & Other included reduction in World Trade Center claims in response to revised information received by the Company. These reductions were partially offset by increases in Global Property loss reserve development of $17.2 million resulting from higher than expected reporting from recent accident years, including $6.4 million of increases from natural catastrophes, including the 2017 North American natural catastrophes. Also, in Other Property, there was loss deterioration from recent accident years reported in client account statements received in the first quarter, which accounted for the remainder of Global Property unfavorable loss development in the first quarter 2018.

Third party reinsurance
Third party reinsurance	Note 6. Third party reinsurance In the normal course of business, Sirius Group seeks to protect its businesses from losses due to concentration of risk and losses arising from catastrophic events by reinsuring with third-party reinsurers. Sirius Group remains liable for risks reinsured in the event that the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts. At March 31, 2019, Sirius Group had reinsurance recoverables on paid losses of $50.5 million and reinsurance recoverables of $349.3 million on unpaid losses. At December 31, 2018, Sirius Group had reinsurance recoverables on paid losses of $55.0 million and reinsurance recoverables of $350.2 million on unpaid losses. Because retrocessional reinsurance contracts do not relieve Sirius Group of its obligation to its insureds, the collectability of balances due from Sirius Group’s reinsurers is important to its financial strength. Sirius Group monitors the financial strength and ratings of retrocessionaires on an ongoing basis. Uncollectible amounts historically have not been significant.

Fair value measurements
Fair value measurements	Note 8. Fair value measurements Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources (“observable inputs”) and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (“unobservable inputs”). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (“Level 1”), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (“Level 2”), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (“Level 3”). The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This may lead the Company to change the selection of the valuation technique (for example, from market to cash flow approach) or to use multiple valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. These circumstances could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels within the fair value hierarchy. Investments valued using Level 1 inputs include fixed maturity investments, primarily investments in U.S. Treasuries Bills and Notes, equity securities, and short-term investments. Investments valued using Level 2 inputs are primarily comprised of fixed maturity investments, which have been disaggregated into classes, including U.S. government and government agency, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, non-U.S. government and government agency, U.S. state and municipalities and political sub division and preferred stocks. Investments valued using Level 2 inputs also include certain exchange-traded funds that track U.S. stock indices such as the S&P 500 but are traded on foreign exchanges. Fair value estimates for investments that trade infrequently and have few or no observable market prices are classified as Level 3 measurements. Sirius Group determines when transfers between levels have occurred as of the beginning of the period. Valuation techniques Sirius Group uses outside pricing services to assist in determining fair values for its investments. For investments in active markets, Sirius Group uses the quoted market prices provided by outside pricing services to determine fair value. The outside pricing services Sirius Group uses have indicated that they will only provide prices where observable inputs are available. In circumstances where quoted market prices are unavailable or are not considered reasonable, Sirius Group estimates the fair value using industry standard pricing models and observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, prepayment speeds, reference data including research publications, and other relevant inputs. Given that many fixed maturity investments do not trade on a daily basis, the outside pricing services evaluate a wide range of fixed maturity investments by regularly drawing parallels from recent trades and quotes of comparable securities with similar features. The characteristics used to identify comparable fixed maturity investments vary by asset type and take into account market convention. The valuation process above is generally applicable to all of Sirius Group’s fixed maturity investments. The techniques and inputs specific to asset classes within Sirius Group’s fixed maturity investments for Level 2 securities that use observable inputs are as follows: U.S. government and government agency U.S. government and government agency securities consist primarily of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. Fixed maturity investments included in U.S. government and government agency securities are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models that incorporate option-adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data. Non-U.S. government and government agency Non-U.S. government and government agency securities consist of debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies along with supranational organizations (also known as sovereign debt securities). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap, and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security, which is developed by in-depth and real-time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets. Corporate debt securities Corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate issuers and industries. The corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features that may influence risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities The fair value of mortgage and asset-backed securities is primarily priced by pricing services using a pricing model that utilizes information from market sources and leveraging similar securities. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, underlying tranche cash flow data and collateral performance, plus new issue data, as well as broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including issuer, vintage, loan type, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds, default rates, recovery rates, cash flow stress testing, credit quality ratings, and market research publications. U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions The U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions portfolio contains debt securities issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipal entities. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services using the techniques described for U.S. government and government agency securities described above. Preferred stocks The fair value of preferred stocks is generally priced by independent pricing services using an evaluated pricing model that calculates the appropriate spread over a comparable security for each issue. Key inputs include exchange prices (underlying and common stock of the same issuer), benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including sector, coupon, credit quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, early redemption features, and market research publications. Level 3 investments Level 3 valuations are generated from techniques that use assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect Sirius Group’s assumptions about what market participants would use in valuing the investment. Generally, certain securities may start out as Level 3 when they are originally issued but, as observable inputs become available in the market, they may be reclassified to Level 2. Sirius Group employs a number of procedures to assess the reasonableness of the fair value measurements for its other long-term investments, including obtaining and reviewing the audited annual financial statements of hedge funds and private equity funds and periodically discussing each fund’s pricing with the fund manager. However, since the fund managers do not provide sufficient information to evaluate the pricing inputs and methods for each underlying investment, the inputs are considered to be unobservable. The fair values of Sirius Group’s investments in private equity securities and private debt instruments have been classified as Level 3 measurements. They are carried at fair value and are initially valued based on transaction price. Their valuation is subsequently estimated based on available evidence such as a market transaction in similar instruments and other financial information for the issuer. Investments measured using net asset value The fair value of Sirius Group’s investments in hedge funds and private equity funds has been determined using net asset value (“NAV”). The hedge fund’s administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of Sirius Group’s proportional interest in the underlying fund’s NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The fair value of investment in hedge funds is measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore has been not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three or six month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company’s reporting date. In these circumstances, Sirius Group estimates the return of the current period and uses all credible information available. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available to Sirius Group with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest on their principal amount at a floating rate equal to the applicable Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR”) for the relevant interest period plus an applicable margin, payable quarterly in arrears on March 22, June 22, September 22, and December 22 in each year commencing on December 22, 2017, until maturity in September 2047. Beginning on September 22, 2022, the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at Sirius Group’s option. In addition, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Specified Event (as defined below), the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at Sirius Group’s option. “Specified Event” means (a) an “Additional Amounts Event” in connection with a change in laws, rules or regulations as a result of which Sirius Group is obligated to pay additional amounts on the notes in respect of any withholding or deduction for taxes, (b) a “Tax Event” in connection with a change in laws, rules or regulations as a result of which interest on the notes is no longer fully deductible by Sirius Group for income tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction (to the extent that such interest was so deductible as of the time of such Tax Event), (c) a “Rating Methodology Event” in connection with a change in, or clarification to, the rating methodology of Standard & Poor’s or Fitch that results in a materially unfavorable capital treatment of the notes, or (d) a “Regulatory Event” in connection with a change in, or clarification to, applicable supervisory regulations that results in the notes no longer qualifying as Tier 2 Capital. Sirius Group incurred $4.6 million in expenses related to the issuance of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes (including SEK 27.5 million, or $3.5 million, in underwriting fees), which have been deferred and are being recognized into interest expense over the life of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Sirius Group recognized $11.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of foreign currency exchange gains on the remeasurement of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes into U.S. dollars (“USD”) from SEK. Taking into effect the amortization of all underwriting and issuance expenses, and applicable STIBOR, the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes yield an annualized effective rate of approximately 3.7% and 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Sirius Group recorded $2.8 million and $2.9 million of interest expense, inclusive of amortization of issuance costs on the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 2016 SIG Senior Notes On November 1, 2016, Sirius Group issued $400.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes (“2016 SIG Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 99.209% for net proceeds of $392.4 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. The 2016 SIG Senior Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2016 SIG Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1, and November 1, in each year commencing on May 1, 2017, until maturity in November 2026. Sirius Group incurred $5.1 million in expenses related to the issuance of the 2016 SIG Senior Notes (including $3.4 million in underwriting fees), which have been deferred and are being recognized into interest expense over the life of the 2016 SIG Senior Notes. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the 2016 SIG Senior Notes yield an effective rate of approximately 4.7% per annum. Sirius Group recorded $4.8 million, inclusive of amortization of issuance costs on the 2016 SIG Senior Notes, for both of the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Standby letter of credit facilities On November 9, 2018, Sirius International renewed two standby letter of credit facility agreements totaling $160 million to provide capital support for Lloyd's Syndicate 1945. The first letter of credit is a renewal of a $125 million facility with Nordea Bank Finland Abp, London Branch, which is issued on an unsecured basis. The second letter of credit is a $35 million facility with DNB Bank ASA, Sweden Branch, $25 million of which is issued on an unsecured basis. Each facility is renewable annually. The above referenced facilities are subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that the Company considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth, maximum debt to capitalization standards , and change in control provisions. Sirius International has other secured letter of credit and trust arrangements with various financial institutions to support its insurance operations. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these secured letter of credit and trust arrangements were collateralized by pledged assets and assets in trust of SEK 2.7 billion and SEK 2.9 billion, respectively, or $296.0 million and $321.3 million , respectively (based on the March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 SEK to USD exchange rates). As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Sirius America Insurance Company’s trust arrangements were collateralized by pledged assets and assets in trust of $56.7 million and $56.2 million, respectively.

Income taxes	Note 10. Income taxes The Company and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035, pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966. The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong (China), Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Shanghai (China), Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Sirius Group reported an income tax expense of $17.2 million and $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, on pre-tax income of $121.3 and $54.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months of 2019 was 14.2%, which was lower than the Swedish statutory rate of 21.4% (the rate at which the majority of Sirius Group’s worldwide operations are taxed) primarily because of income recognized in jurisdictions with lower rates than Sweden. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 20.3%, which was lower than the Swedish statutory rate of 22% primarily because of income recognized in jurisdictions with lower rates than Sweden and non-recurring adjustments to Sirius Group’s deferred tax assets which resulted from various internal restructurings. In arriving at the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Sirius Group forecasted all income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted into law in the U.S. in December 2017. The Company previously applied Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 addresses situations where accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), may be incomplete upon issuance of an entity’s financial statements and provides a one-year measurement period from the enactment date to complete the accounting under ASC 740. The Company has completed its accounting for all material tax effects of the TCJA and recognized adjustments as of December 31, 2018. The TCJA includes a new Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Minimum Tax (“BEAT”) provision, which is essentially a minimum tax that is potentially applicable to certain otherwise deductible payments made by U.S. entities to non-U.S. affiliates, including cross-border interest payments and reinsurance premiums. The statutory BEAT rate is 10% in 2019-2025, and then rises to 12.5% in 2026 and thereafter. The TCJA also includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. Consistent with accounting guidance, Sirius Group will treat BEAT as an in period tax charge when incurred in future periods for which no deferred taxes need to be provided and has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes in a similar manner. No provision for income taxes related to BEAT or GILTI was recorded as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Sirius Group has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to the Company or Sirius Group’s subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to income or withholding taxes. Sirius Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in relevant countries are still evolving, including in response to guidance from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments. Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance Sirius Group’s net deferred tax liability, net of the valuation allowance as of March 31, 2019 was $59.0 million. Of the $59.0 million, $33.1 million relates to net deferred tax assets in U.S. subsidiaries, $131.5 million relates to net deferred tax assets in Luxembourg subsidiaries, $11.5 million relates to net deferred tax assets in United Kingdom subsidiaries, $230.6 million relates to net deferred tax liabilities in Sweden subsidiaries, and $4.5 million relates to other net deferred tax liabilities. Sirius Group records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, Sirius Group considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to Sirius Group’s deferred tax assets and tax expense. Uncertain tax positions Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, Sirius Group must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2019, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is $63.3 million. If Sirius Group determines in the future that its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits on permanent differences and interest and penalties are not needed, the reversal of $63.2 million of such reserves as of March 31, 2019 would be recorded as an income tax benefit and would impact the effective tax rate. If Sirius Group determines in the future that its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits on temporary differences are not needed, the reversal of $0.1 million of such reserves as of March 31, 2019 would not impact the effective tax rate due to deferred tax accounting but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority. Most of Sirius Group’s reserves for unrecognized tax benefits on permanent differences relate to interest deductions denied by the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”), as described further below. The Swedish Tax Authority ("STA") has denied deductions claimed by two of the Company's Swedish subsidiaries in certain tax years for interest paid on intra-group debt instruments. Sirius Group has challenged the STA's denial in court based on the technical merits. In October 2018, one of the Swedish subsidiaries received an adverse decision from Sweden's Administrative Court, which Sirius Group has appealed. Sirius Group has taken into account this and other relevant developments in applicable Swedish tax law and has established a reserve for this uncertain tax position. As of March 31, 2019, the total amount of such reserve was $63.0 million. In connection with this matter, Sirius Group has also taken into account the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) by which Sirius Group was sold to CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd (‘‘CMIG International’’) in 2016 and has recorded an indemnification asset. Pursuant to the SPA, the seller agreed to indemnify the buyer and Sirius Group for, among other things, (1) any additional tax liability in excess of Sirius Group’s accounting for uncertain tax positions for tax periods prior to the sale of Sirius Group to CMIG International, and (2) an impairment in Sirius Group’s net deferred tax assets resulting from a final determination by a tax authority. While Sirius Group intends to continue challenging the STA’s denial based on the technical merits (including appealing the adverse court decision received in October 2018), the ultimate resolution of these tax disputes is uncertain and no assurance can be given that there will be no material changes to Sirius Group’s operating results or balance sheet in connection with these uncertain tax positions or the related indemnification. With few exceptions, Sirius Group is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Derivatives	Note 11. Derivatives Interest Rate Cap Sirius Group entered into an interest rate swap (“Interest Rate Cap”) with two financial institutions where it paid an upfront premium and in return receives a series of quarterly payments based on the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) at the time of payment. The Interest Rate Cap does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized gains or losses and are presented within Other revenue. The fair value of the interest rate cap has been estimated using a single broker quote and, accordingly, has been classified as a Level 3 measurement as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Collateral held is recorded within short-term investments with an equal amount recognized as a liability to return collateral. Sirius Group’s liability to return that collateral is based on the amounts provided by the counterparties and investment earnings thereon. The following table summarizes the Interest Rate Cap collateral balances held by Sirius Group and ratings by counterparty: March 31, 2019 Collateral Balances S & P (Millions) Held Rating (1) Barclays Bank Plc $ 0.1 A Nordea Bank Abp 0.1 AA- Total $ 0.2 (1) Standard & Poor's ratings as detailed above are: "AA-" (Very Strong, which is the fourth highest of twenty-three creditworthiness ratings) and "A" (Strong, which is the sixth highest of twenty-three credit worthiness ratings). Foreign currency swaps Sirius Group executes foreign currency swaps to manage foreign currency exposure. The foreign currency swaps have not been designated or accounted for under hedge accounting. Changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized gains or losses and are presented within Net foreign exchange gains (losses). The fair value of the foreign currency swaps has been estimated using a single broker quote and, accordingly, has been classified as a Level 3 measurement as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Sirius Group does not provide or hold any collateral associated with the swaps. Foreign currency forward Sirius Group executes foreign currency forwards to manage currency exposure against a foreign currency investment. The foreign currency forwards are not designated or accounted for under hedge accounting. Changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized gains or losses and are presented within Net foreign exchange gains (losses). The fair value of the foreign currency forwards are estimated using a single broker quote and accordingly, classified as a Level 3 measurement. Sirius Group did not provide or hold any collateral associated with the forwards. Weather derivatives Sirius Group holds assets and assumes liabilities related to weather and weather contingent risk management products. Weather and weather contingent derivative contracts are entered into with the objective of generating profits in normal climatic conditions. Accordingly, Sirius Group’s weather and weather contingent derivatives are not designed to meet the criteria for hedge accounting under GAAP. Sirius Group receives payment of premium at the contract inception in exchange for bearing the risk of variations in a quantifiable weather index. Changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized gains or losses and are presented within Other revenue. The fair value of the weather derivatives was estimated using a broker quote. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of Sirius Group’s weather risk contracts, the fair value measurements of the contracts are deemed to be Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Sirius Group does not provide or hold any collateral associated with the weather derivatives. Equity futures contracts Sirius Group executes trades in equity futures contracts to hedge against long positions in Common equities. The equity futures contracts are not designated or accounted for under hedge accounting. Changes in fair value are presented within Net realized investment gains (losses). The fair value of the equity put options is widely available and have quoted prices in active markets and accordingly, were classified as a Level 1 measurement. Equity put options Sirius Group executes trades in equity put options to hedge against long positions in Common equities.

Earnings per share
Earnings per share	Note 14. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to Sirius Group common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Sirius Group common shareholders on a diluted basis by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The Series B preference shares and the Series A redeemable preference shares both qualify as participating securities, which requires the application of the two-class method to compute both basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating securities as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. The Series B preference shares and the Series A redeemable preference shares have no obligation to absorb losses of the Company in periods of net loss. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018: For the three months ended March 31, (Millions, except share and per share information) Basic earnings per share Numerator: Net income $ 104.1 $ 43.3 Less: Income attributable to non-controlling interests (0.4) (0.2) Less: Change in carrying value of Series B preference shares (8.4) — Less: Accrued dividends on Series A redeemable preference shares — (2.6) Net income available for dividends out of undistributed earnings $ 95.3 $ 40.5 Less: Earnings attributable to Series B preference shares (8.9) — Less: Earnings attributable to Series A redeemable preference shares — (1.7) Net income available to Sirius Group common shareholders $ 86.4 $ 38.8 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 115,182,331 120,000,000 Basic earnings per share $ 0.75 $ 0.32 Diluted earnings per share Numerator: Net income available to Sirius Group common shareholders $ 86.4 $ 38.8 Add: Change in carrying value of Series B preference shares 8.4 — Net income available to Sirius Group common shareholders on a diluted basis $ 94.8 $ 38.8 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 115,182,331 120,000,000 Add: Series B preference shares 11,901,670 — Add: Unvested performance share units and restricted share units 251,313 — Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share(1) 127,335,314 120,000,000 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.74 $ 0.32 (1) As at March 31, 2019, there were a total of 19,510,830 of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of Diluted earnings per share.

Variable interest entities Sirius Group consolidates the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity (“VOE”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VOE or VIE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.

Sirius Group is not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor does it actively participate in the management of the VIEs. The exposure to loss from these investments is limited to the carrying value of the investments at the balance sheet date. Sirius Group calculates maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where Sirius Group has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. Sirius Group does not have any VIEs that it sponsors nor any VIEs where it has recourse to it or has provided a guarantee to the VIE interest holders.

(See Note 5. ) Sirius Group considers the requirements of ASC 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”) , when evaluating its exposure to non-claims related litigation and arbitration. ASC 450 requires that accruals be established for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and it can be reasonably estimated. ASC 450 also requires that litigation and arbitration be disclosed if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or it there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Leases Sirius Group leases office space and equipment under various noncancellable operating lease agreements. The average life of the office leases is 7 years and the equipment leases is 3 years.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. Tabular dollar amounts are in millions, with the exception of share and per share amounts. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars, except where noted otherwise.
Recently adopted changes in accounting principles	Recently adopted changes in accounting principles Leases Effective January 1, 2019, Sirius Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842) which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for both operating and financing leases, with the exception of leases with an original term of 12 months or less. Under previous guidance, recognition of lease assets and liabilities was not required for operating leases. The new guidance requires that lease assets and liabilities to be recognized and measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Sirius Group adopted the new guidance using the simplified transition option that allows companies to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Sirius Group also made the following elections: · Sirius Group elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases upon transition. · Sirius Group did not elect the hindsight practical expedient upon transition, for all leases. · Sirius Group elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, resulting in lease payments being recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. · Sirius Group elected to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component for all leases. · Sirius Group did not elect the land easement practical expedient as it was not applicable. As a result of the adoption of the new guidance, Sirius Group recognized a lease liability of $36.8 million, which represents the present value of our remaining lease payments and a right-of-use asset of $34.4 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows. Due to the adoption of the standard using the retrospective cumulative-effect adjustment method, there are no changes to our previously reported results prior to January 1, 2019. Lease expense is not expected to change materially as a result of the adoption of the new guidance. (See Note 18.) Premium amortization on callable debt securities Effective January 1, 2019, Sirius Group adopted ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASC 310-20), which changes the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, for investments in callable debt securities held at a premium, the premium will be amortized over the period to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the amortization period for callable debt securities held at a discount. The adoption of this guidance did not have significant effect on our financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent accounting pronouncements Credit losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), which establishes new guidance for the recognition of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The new guidance, which applies to financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash, including reinsurance receivables and recoverables, requires reporting entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of a credit exposure using historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial asset. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Sirius Group is evaluating the expected impact of this new guidance.
