Disclosure Forward - Looking Statements This press release contains forward - looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . In some cases, such forward - looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words . Forward - looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward - looking statements . Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following : the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves ; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended ; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel ; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both ; a decline in our financial strength rating resulting in a reduction of new or renewal business ; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships ; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships ; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations ; the recently enacted Public Law No . 115 - 97 , informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, may have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders ; in the event we do not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and are therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U . S . federal income taxation ; the Company or any of its foreign subsidiaries becoming subject to U . S . federal income taxation ; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities ; losses from catastrophic events which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events ; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues ; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio ; our ability to obtain reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk and adequately protect our company against financial loss ; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims or insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims ; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents ; our ability to manage our growth effectively ; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred ; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002 , as amended (“Sarbanes - Oxley”) ; and changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends . Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward - looking statements, is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1 , 2018 . These forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward - looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains non - GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G of the rules of the SEC . These non - GAAP measures, such as underwriting profit, adjusted net operating income, tangible equity and adjusted net operating return on average tangible equity are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures . We believe these non - GAAP measures provide users of our financial information useful insight into our performance . Investors should consider non - GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures . Please refer to pages 27 & 28 of this presentation for a reconciliation of the non - GAAP financial measures to the equivalent GAAP equivalents . 2

Overview

 

 

Our Strategy We seek to deliver consistent, top tier returns on tangible equity and achieve sector leading value creation  We are active managers of capital, seeking to generate top tier returns and return excess capital, while maintaining the ability to respond quickly to match capital to evolving risk opportunities  We are underwriters first, and target low volatility risks with our ‘A’ rated balance sheet  We are focused on profitably growing our niche portfolio of new economy, excess and surplus, and workers’ compensation risks  We continue to meaningfully build fee income in our Specialty Admitted segment, and increase the proportion of earnings represented by fees  We seek meaningful investment returns, largely generated from niche strategies representing a small portion of our portfolio  We mitigate volatility via portfolio construction, low retentions and little property exposure – 1 : 1000 PML would not exceed $ 10 million 5
