MGA revenues grew at 7% while margins increased to 21%. Our balance sheet is strong, and we remain on track to hit double-digit ROE this year.

During the quarter, we also entered into a standstill agreement with Mr. Daniel Loeb. This removes any lingering uncertainty and underlines Mr Loeb’s support for the strategy and progress he outlined in his 13D.

I have now completed one year at SiriusPoint, and I am incredibly proud of the progress made to date. We have created significant shareholder value and our aim is to continue to improve as we go into 2024. We believe strongly there is the potential to do so.

Third Quarter 2023 Summary

Consolidated underwriting income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $73.8 million compared to underwriting loss of $46.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results was driven by lower catastrophe losses and improved favorable prior year loss reserve development. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $12.0 million, or 2.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, including Hawaii wildfires, Hurricane Idalia, and Storm Hans, compared to $114.6 million or 18.7 points on the combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily from Hurricane Ian. The lower catastrophe losses were a result of the Company’s significant reduction in catastrophe exposed business. Favorable prior year loss reserve development of $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves.

Consolidated underwriting income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $339.2 million compared to $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results was driven by improved favorable prior year loss reserve development of $163.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase in favorable prior year loss reserve development was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, which represents $122.2 million of the favorable prior year loss reserve development. In addition, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $24.9 million, or 1.3 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the Turkey Earthquake and Chile Wildfire, compared to $137.7 million, or 8.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by Hurricane Ian. The lower catastrophe losses were a result of the Company’s significant reduction in catastrophe exposed business.

Reportable Segments

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations, which consist of two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services.

Core Underwriting Results

Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute our “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliations in “Segment Reporting”. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Core results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included income of $50.0 million compared to a loss of $79.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 consists of underwriting income of $42.5 million (92.5% combined ratio) and net services income of $7.5 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $88.3 million (114.5% combined ratio) and net services income of $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results was primarily driven by increased favorable prior year loss reserve development, lower catastrophe losses and favorable expense ratios (both commission and other underwriting expense ratios), which results in a higher underwriting gain. Net services income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included services noncontrolling income from our consolidated MGAs of $2.4 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Losses incurred included $12.6 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.6 million of adverse prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, favorable prior year loss reserve development was driven by decreases in property in Reinsurance and A&H in Insurance & Services, partially offset by loss emergence in the casualty business lines in the Insurance & Service segment. This increase in favorable prior year loss reserve development was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $6.7 million or 1.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses of $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia, compared to $114.6 million, or 18.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including $80.1 million for Hurricane Ian and $34.5 million for other third quarter 2022 catastrophe events.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Core results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included income of $245.1 million compared to a loss of $31.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consists of underwriting income of $213.2 million (87.6% combined ratio) and net services income of $31.9 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $66.0 million (103.9% combined ratio) and net services income of $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results was primarily driven by favorable prior year loss reserve development, lower catastrophe losses, and favorable expense ratios (both commission and other underwriting expense ratios), which results in a higher underwriting gain. Net services income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included services noncontrolling income from our consolidated MGAs of $5.7 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Losses incurred included $129.7 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to favorable prior year loss reserve development of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase in favorable prior year loss reserve development was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, in addition to a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $13.7 million, or 0.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses of $6.8 million from the Turkey Earthquake, $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia, compared to $137.7 million, or 8.1 percentage points on the combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, including $80.1 million for Hurricane Ian and $57.6 million for other catastrophe events, including the South Africa floods and France hail storms. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including losses from the political risk, trade credit, and aviation lines of business, were $12.9 million, or 0.8 percentage points on the combined ratio.

Reinsurance Segment

Three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Reinsurance generated underwriting income of $36.9 million (85.6% combined ratio) for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to an underwriting loss of $79.6 million (126.1% combined ratio) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results was primarily due to lower catastrophe losses.

Reinsurance gross premiums written were $265.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $53.0 million, or 16.6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower premiums written in International reinsurance, primarily in the property lines, as we execute the Restructuring Plan.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Reinsurance generated underwriting income of $178.4 million (77.4% combined ratio) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $76.7 million (108.2% combined ratio) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher favorable prior year loss reserve development and lower catastrophe losses.

Reinsurance gross premiums written were $1,019.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $201.6 million, or 16.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower premiums written in International reinsurance, primarily in the property lines, as we execute the Restructuring Plan. This was partially offset by growth in North America reinsurance in the property and casualty lines of business.

Insurance & Services Segment

Three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Insurance & Services generated segment income of $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Segment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 consists of underwriting income of $5.6 million (98.3% combined ratio) and net services income of $7.7 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $8.7 million (102.8% combined ratio) and net services income of $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in underwriting results was primarily due to decreased adverse prior year loss reserve development. The increase in services income was primarily due to higher margins achieved in Arcadian.

Insurance & Services gross premiums written were $460.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $64.8 million, or 12.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by decreases in premiums from strategic partnerships.

The increase in underwriting results was primarily driven by the increased favorable prior loss reserve development. The increase in services income was primarily due to higher margins achieved in Arcadian.

Insurance & Services gross premiums written were $1,571.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $129.3 million, or 9.0%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by growth across Insurance & Services, including growth in premiums from strategic partnerships, and A&H.

Investments

Three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income was $68.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $(28.2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Total realized and unrealized investment gains and net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to investment results from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $71.0 million. These returns were driven by dividend and interest income primarily on U.S. treasury bills and corporate debt positions, which make up 46.2% of our total investments as of September 30, 2023, compared to 28.6% of our portfolio as of September 30, 2022. In addition, the Company has elected to classify debt securities purchased on or after April 1, 2022 as available for sale which has resulted in decreased volatility in net income.

Investment results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to losses on the fixed income portfolio of $8.7 million or a (1.2)% return, on our debt securities primarily due to rising interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency movements and widening credit spreads. We also recognized a net investment loss of $8.4 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a (3.2)% return.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income was $207.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $(374.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Total realized and unrealized investment gains and net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $208.5 million. Increased dividend and investment income is due to the ongoing re-positioning of the portfolio to focus on investing in high grade fixed income securities.

Investment results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to the net investment loss of $194.0 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a (28.2)% return. We also recognized losses of $126.0 million, or a (4.7)% return, on our debt securities and $5.0 million, or a 0.7% return, on our equity securities and other long-term investment portfolios, primarily due to rising interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency movements and widening credit spreads.

Standstill Agreement with Mr. Daniel S. Loeb

On April 12, 2023, the Company acknowledged that Dan Loeb, and certain of his affiliates, disclosed in a Schedule 13D/A filing an indication of interest to explore a potential acquisition of all, or substantially all, of the outstanding common shares of the Company (“Indication of Interest”).

On May 12, 2023, the Company acknowledged that Dan Loeb, and certain of his affiliates, disclosed in a Schedule 13D/A filing the decision to conclude discussions regarding a potential transaction to acquire the Company.

Revision of Q2 and Q1 2023 interim financial statements

In connection with the preparation of its third quarter 2023 financial statements, the Company identified certain immaterial errors in its previously issued 2023 interim financial statements, primarily relating to a manual calculation in our property catastrophe business, and also an overnight data transfer error. This resulted in the incorrect recognition of Net premiums earned. The Company performed an analysis in accordance with the guidance set forth in SEC Staff Bulletin 99, Materiality, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that the errors were not material, both individually and in the aggregate, to any previously issued financial statements, and were not intentional. Although not required to do so, but in an effort to provide transparency and in line with good practice, Management has elected to revise the previously issued 2023 interim financial statements when they are next presented. The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflect the correction of these errors in the manner described above.

Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements are the following: our ability to execute on our strategic transformation, including re-underwriting to reduce volatility and improving underwriting performance, de-risking our investment portfolio, and transforming our business, including re-balancing our portfolio and growing the Insurance & Services segment; the impact of unpredictable catastrophic events including uncertainties with respect to current and future COVID-19 losses across many classes of insurance business and the amount of insurance losses that may ultimately be ceded to the reinsurance market, supply chain issues, labor shortages and related increased costs, changing interest rates and equity market volatility; inadequacy of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, the lack of available capital, and periods characterized by excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates; the performance of financial markets, impact of inflation and interest rates, and foreign currency fluctuations; our ability to compete successfully in the (re)insurance market and the effect of consolidation in the (re)insurance industry; technology breaches or failures, including those resulting from a malicious cyber-attack on us, our business partners or service providers; the effects of global climate change, including increased severity and frequency of weather-related natural disasters and catastrophes and increased coastal flooding in many geographic areas; geopolitical uncertainty, including the ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East; our ability to retain key senior management and key employees; a downgrade or withdrawal of our financial ratings; fluctuations in our results of operations; legal restrictions on certain of SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and other distributions to SiriusPoint; the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings and regulatory constraints on our business; reduced returns or losses in SiriusPoint’s investment portfolio; our potential exposure to U.S. federal income and withholding taxes and our significant deferred tax assets, which could become devalued if we do not generate future taxable income or applicable corporate tax rates are reduced; risks associated with delegating authority to third party managing general agents; future strategic transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions, investments, mergers or joint ventures; SiriusPoint’s response to any acquisition proposal that may be received from any party, including any actions that may be considered by the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof; and other risks and factors listed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics

In presenting SiriusPoint’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). SiriusPoint’s management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of SiriusPoint’s financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects the Company’s decision to exit the runoff business. Tangible book value per diluted common share is also a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Starting in 2023, the Company will no longer exclude restricted shares from the calculation of Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share, as the unvested restricted shares outstanding are no longer considered material. The resulting change in Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share is ($0.04) per share at September 30, 2023 and thus the Company will no longer adjust the calculation. Further, management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The tangible book value per diluted common share is also useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

SIRIUSPOINT LTD.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS & OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, and services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net investment gains (losses) from Strategic Investments which are net investment gains/losses from our investment holdings, are no longer included in Core net services income, with comparative financial periods restated. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.

Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share

Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Starting in 2023, the Company will no longer exclude restricted shares from calculation of Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share, as the unvested restricted shares outstanding are no longer considered material. The resulting change in Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share is ($0.04) per share at September 30, 2023 and thus the Company will no longer adjust the calculation. Further, management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The tangible book value per diluted common share is also useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
