Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underwriting income (loss)

The Company defines underwriting income (loss) as income (loss) before taxes excluding net investment income, noncash changes in fair value of embedded derivatives, investment revaluation gains, net realized capital gains or losses, noncash intangible asset amortization, stock compensation and goodwill impairment, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. Underwriting income (loss) represents the pre-tax profitability of the Company’s underwriting operations and allows management to evaluate the Company’s underwriting performance without regard to investment income, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. The Company uses this metric because the Company believes it gives management and other users of the Company’s financial information useful insight into the Company’s underwriting business performance by adjusting for these expenses and sources of income. Underwriting income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Adjusted net income (loss)

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding the impact of certain items, including noncash intangible asset amortization, stock compensation and goodwill impairment, noncash changes in fair value of embedded derivatives, other expenses and gains or losses that the Company believes do not reflect its core operating performance, which items may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting comparability the Company’s results across periods. The Company calculates the tax impact only on adjustments that would be included in calculating the Company’s income tax expense using an expected effective tax rate for the applicable years. The Company uses adjusted net income (loss) as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives its management and other users of its financial information useful insight into the Company’s results of operations and underlying business performance by eliminating the effects of these items. Adjusted net income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income (loss) differently.
