Segment Reporting

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has amended its reportable segments as follows:

Open Market

In the Open Market segment, the Company underwrites reinsurance business, sourced through the brokerage distribution channels and Lloyd’s. The Company writes mostly treaty reinsurance, on a proportional and non-proportional basis. The lines of business for this segment are as follows: Casualty, Financial, Health, Multiline, Property and Specialty.

Innovations

In the Innovations segment, the Company provides reinsurance capacity to startup companies and MGAs based globally, sourced mainly through direct placements with its strategic partners (see Note 4). This segment also includes business written by Syndicate 3456. The lines of business for this segment are as follows: Casualty, Financial, Health, Multiline and Specialty.

The Company’s reportable segments each have executive leadership who are responsible for their performance and who are directly accountable to the CODM. The change in reportable segments was driven by the appointment of a new CEO, who is the CODM. The CODM reviews the financial performance of the reportable segment to assess the achievement of strategic initiatives, the efficiency of the deployed capital, and how to allocate resources to the reportable segments based on the segment’s financial performance.

In addition to its reportable segments, the Company has a Corporate category included in the below tables, which includes runoff business (see Note 7), corporate expenses, income from investment in Solasglas, foreign exchange gains (losses), interest expense and income taxes.

The table below provides information about the Company’s reportable segments, including the reconciliation to net income as reported under U.S. GAAP. Comparatives have been recast to conform with the new reportable segments.
