Previous report
Refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion regarding White Mountains’s risk factors. The following presents an update related to the potential volatility from White Mountains’s election of the fair value option for the BAM Surplus Notes.
Previous report
We may be subject to volatility from our investment in the BAM Surplus Notes, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Previous report
Upon the deconsolidation of BAM on July 1, 2024, White Mountains elected the fair value option, and the BAM Surplus Notes, including accrued interest receivable, were measured at their estimated fair value of $387 million using a discounted cash flow analysis, which resulted in an unrealized loss on deconsolidation of $115 million. As of September 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the BAM Surplus Notes was $411 million. Subsequent to the deconsolidation, White Mountains recognized accrued interest of $8 million and an increase in fair value of $16 million for the third quarter of 2024. White Mountains’s reported book value per share and adjusted book value per share may be subject to greater volatility in the future, as the valuation of the BAM Surplus Notes under the discounted cash flow analysis could be more volatile than the carrying value prior to the deconsolidation. Should there be a significant decrease in the valuation of the BAM Surplus Notes, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
