CATASTROPHE EXPOSURE
The business of our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries exposes them to losses from various catastrophe events. In a catastrophe event, losses from many insureds across multiple lines of business may result directly or indirectly from such single occurrence. Our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries take certain measures to mitigate the impact of catastrophe events through various means including considering catastrophe risks in their underwriting and pricing decisions, purchasing reinsurance, monitoring and modeling accumulated exposures, and managing exposure in key geographic zones and product lines that are prone to catastrophic events.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, other windstorms, earthquakes and other catastrophes have the potential to materially and adversely affect our operating results. Other risks, such as an outbreak of a pandemic disease, a major terrorist event, the bankruptcy of a major company or a marine and/or aviation disaster, could also have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
We evaluate catastrophic events and assess the probability of occurrence and magnitude through the use of industry recognized models and other techniques. We supplement these models by judgmentally interpreting and adjusting when appropriate the modeled output and by periodically monitoring the exposure risks of our operations. There is no single standard methodology to project possible losses from catastrophe exposures. Further, there are no industry standard assumptions used in projecting these losses, and the form and quality of the data obtained, including data obtained from insureds and ceding companies, and used in these models are not uniformly compatible with the data requirements of all models. Therefore, the use of different methodologies and assumptions could materially change the projected losses. Finally, these modeled losses may not be comparable with estimates made by other companies.
Although the analytical tools used to estimate catastrophe exposure are useful in both pricing and monitoring catastrophe risk, the estimates derived by use of these techniques are inherently uncertain and do not reflect our maximum exposures to these events. Although the models are frequently updated, these projections are nevertheless inherently imprecise. It is highly likely that our losses will vary, perhaps materially, from these estimates.
Projections of potential catastrophe losses are typically expressed in terms of the probable maximum loss, or “PML.” We define PML as our anticipated maximum loss (taking into account contract limits) caused by a single catastrophic event at a specified estimated return period affecting a broad contiguous area. These modeled losses are estimated based upon contracts in force at January 1, 2014 for TransRe and December 1, 2013 for RSUI.
The following is an overview of such modeled PMLs from property, engineering, marine and energy exposures and the associated natural perils that we deem most significant. The estimated amount of these modeled losses are presented for both a 100 year return period (having a likelihood of being exceeded in any single year of 1.0 percent), and a 250 year return period (having a likelihood of being exceeded in any single year of 0.4 percent), and are presented in two ways: (i) gross catastrophe losses; and (ii) after-tax net catastrophe costs such as gross losses, net of reinsurance, net reinstatement premiums and taxes. The reduction for reinsurance assumes that all reinsurers fulfill their obligations in accordance with contract terms.

Japan, Wind | | | 0.5 | | | | 0.2 | | | | 0.5 | | | | 0.2 | |
“Florida, Wind” has the highest modeled after-tax net catastrophe costs for both a 100 year and 250 year return periods. These costs would represent approximately 7 percent and 11 percent, respectively, of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2013. If multiple severe catastrophic events occur in any one year, or a single catastrophic event affects more than one geographic area, the potential economic cost to us could be materially higher than any one of the amounts shown above.
There is much uncertainty and imprecision in the compilation of these estimates at many stages in the process. Moreover, the makeup of our in-force business is constantly changing as new business is added and existing contracts terminate or expire, including contracts for reinsurance coverage purchased by us. In addition, these estimates take into account what we believe to be the most likely accumulation of territories, but there can be no assurance that we have captured every possible scenario in our analysis. As a result of these factors, among others, there can be no assurance that we will not experience after-tax net catastrophe costs from individual events that will exceed these estimates by a material amount. There also can be no assurance that we will not experience catastrophe events more frequently than the modeled probabilities would suggest. In any given year, catastrophe events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this Financial Supplement, Alleghany’s results of operations are presented in the way that Alleghany believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use financial information in evaluating Alleghany’s performance. This Financial Supplement includes various “non-GAAP financial measures” under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). When such measures are disclosed, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided.
UNDERWRITING PROFIT
Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and LAE and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, and does not include net investment income, net realized capital gains, OTTI losses, other income, other operating expenses, amortization of intangible assets or interest expense. Alleghany consistently uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to a segment’s underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss, and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance company’s ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk. A reconciliation of underwriting profit to earnings before income taxes is presented within “Consolidated Underwriting Results” on pages 10 to 13 of the Financial Supplement.
OPERATING INCOME (AND OPERATING INCOME PER SHARE)
Operating income and operating income per share exclude on an after-tax basis: net realized capital gains; other than temporary impairment losses; gain on bargain purchase; amortization of intangible assets; and merger-related transaction costs, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. Alleghany uses operating income and operating income per share as a supplement to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, the most comparable GAAP financial measures, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting net earnings and earnings per share attributable to its performance exclusive of non-recurring merger-related impacts, realized investment gains or losses, and impairments. A reconciliation of operating income and operating income per share to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, is presented within “Operating Income Reconciliation” on page 30 of the Financial Supplement.
ANNUALIZED INVESTMENT BOOK YIELD
Annualized investment book yield is calculated by dividing net investment income by average aggregate invested assets at book value. In calculating annualized investment book yield, net investment income for the period, determined in accordance with GAAP, is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized net investment income. Alleghany utilizes and presents annualized investment book yield in order to better disclose the performance of its investments.
