The following table details key financial indicators in evaluating our performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Specialty Segment

The following table is a summary of our Specialty segment’s underwriting results:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our GPW increased primarily driven by growth from new business and increased rates in our Property and Property D&F lines of business partially offset by a decrease in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our GPW increased primarily driven by growth from new business and improved rates in our Property, Property D&F and Marine lines of business, partially offset by a decrease in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our NPE increased due to earnings from higher net premiums written in the current and prior year periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our policy acquisition expense ratio increased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners.

Our underwriting ratio in the Specialty segment increased by 10.4 points and 5.4 points compared to the three and six month prior year periods, respectively, driven primarily by an increase in the loss ratio.

The following table is a summary of our Specialty segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our loss ratio in the Specialty segment increased by 9.5 points. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our loss ratio in the Specialty segment increased by 3.3 points.

The attritional loss ratio in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 4.3 points and 1.3 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to a higher level of small losses in the current year period.

The catastrophe and large losses in the three months ended June 30, 2024 were driven by events in our Property D&F line of business, the largest of which was the catastrophic tornados in Oklahoma and surrounding States together with other smaller losses.

The catastrophe and large losses in the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, severe convective storms in the Property D&F line of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business. This compared to prior year period catastrophe and large losses related to our Aviation and Aerospace line of business which included losses related to the Sudan conflict, and our Property D&F line of business where we experienced losses from severe convective storms in the U.S.

The favorable prior year development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by better than expected loss emergence in the Marine and Property D&F lines of business.

Bespoke Segment

The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s underwriting results:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our GPW increased primarily driven by new business in our Credit and Political Risk line of business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our NPE remained consistent compared to the prior year periods.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners.

Our underwriting ratio in the Bespoke segment increased by 12.6 points and 10.8 points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, from the prior year periods, driven by an increase in our loss ratio.

The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our loss ratio in the Bespoke segment increased by 17.5 points and 14.7 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, driven by an increase in our large loss ratio.

The attritional loss ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2024 improved by 4.7 points compared to the prior year period due to a lower level of small losses in the current year period.

The attritional loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 2.4 points compared to the prior year period due to a higher level of small losses in the current year period.

The large losses in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to intellectual property losses in our Credit & Political Risk line of business compared to minimal large losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The favorable prior year development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by benign attritional experience and favorable claims settlements.

Reinsurance Segment

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s underwriting results:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, GPW increased driven by rate increases as well as new business, while NPE increased driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current year periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our policy acquisition expense ratio increased due to lower commissions earned from ceded reinsurance partners.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our underwriting ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 8.0 points and 30.8 points, respectively, from the prior year periods, driven by an improvement in our loss ratio.

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our loss ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 13.7 points compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable prior year development and an improvement in the catastrophe and large loss ratio, partially offset by an increase in the attritional loss ratio.

The loss ratio improved by 31.7 points for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was due to improvements in our attritional and catastrophe and large loss ratios.

The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 32.7 points compared to the prior year period, which was particularly benign in terms of attritional losses.

The attritional loss ratio in the six months ended June 30, 2024 improved by 22.7 points due to favorable experience compared to the prior year period which included storm losses in our Property Reinsurance line of business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by positive development on catastrophe losses and benign prior year attritional experience.

We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment.

The Fidelis Partnership Commissions

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $75.0 million and $151.7 million, respectively, or 15.0% and 15.3% of the combined ratio, respectively, (2023: $52.6 million and $76.8 million or 12.3% and 9.4% of the combined ratio) and comprise ceding and profit commissions as part of the Framework Agreement effective from January 1, 2023. The increase was due to the full impact of earning such commissions since January 1, 2023 together with the increase in net premiums earned. The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group.

The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned:

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $24.4 million and $48.0 million, respectively, or 4.9% and 4.9% of the combined ratio, respectively (2023: $18.6 million and $35.2 million or 4.3% and 4.3% of the combined ratio). The increase was driven primarily by employment costs relating to increased head count to support the growth of the business.

Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses)

The net realized and unrealized investment losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $220.4 million and $429.0 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively, the proceeds of which were reinvested at higher yields.

Net Investment Income

The increase in our net investment income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to the increase in investible assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we purchased $677.7 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 5.2% and 5.1%, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, attritional loss ratio and catastrophe and large loss ratio, and therefore are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

RPI Measure

Renewal price index (“RPI”) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording.
