Investments in Solasglas

DME Advisors reports the composition of Solasglas’ portfolio on a delta-adjusted basis, which it believes is the appropriate manner to assess the exposure and profile of investments and reflects how it manages the portfolio. An option’s delta is the option price’s sensitivity to the underlying stock (or commodity) price. The delta-adjusted basis is the number of shares or contracts underlying the option multiplied by the delta and the underlying stock (or commodity) price.

The following table represents the composition of Solasglas’ investments:

March 31 · December 31
20252024
Long %Short %Long %Short %
Equities and related derivatives82.9%(65.6)%73.9%(43.3)%
Private and unlisted equity securities2.3—2.1—
Debt instruments0.1—0.1—
Total85.3%(65.6)%76.1%(43.3)%

The above exposure analysis does not include cash (U.S. dollar and foreign currencies), gold and other commodities, credit default swaps, sovereign debt, foreign currency derivatives, interest rate derivatives, inflation swaps and other macro positions. Under this methodology, a total return swap’s exposure is reported at its full notional amount and options are reported at their delta-adjusted basis. At March 31, 2025, Solasglas’ exposure to gold on a delta-adjusted basis was 10.9% (2024: 10.1%).

At March 31, 2025, 92.8% of Solasglas’ portfolio was valued based on quoted prices in actively traded markets (Level 1), 5.6% was composed of instruments valued based on observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2), and a nominal amount was composed of instruments valued based on non-observable inputs (Level 3). At March 31, 2025, 1.6% of Solasglas’ portfolio consisted of private equity funds valued using the funds’ net asset values as a practical expedient.

Other Investments

The other investment holdings relate to private investments made by the Innovations segment. There were no new investments in Q1 2025.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

We use our restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily for funding trusts and letters of credit issued to our ceding insurers. Our restricted cash increased by $10.9 million, or 1.9%, from $584.4 million at December 31, 2024, to $595.3 million at March 31, 2025.

Reinsurance balances receivable

Our reinsurance balances receivable increased by $64.2 million, or 9.1%, to $768.7 million from $704.5 million at December 31, 2024. This was driven primarily by $31.4 million increase in premiums receivable, net of collections, and $33.3 million in funds withheld from new and renewed reinsurance treaties.

Loss and LAE Reserves; Loss and LAE Recoverable

Our total gross loss and LAE reserves increased by $55.6 million, or 6.5%, to $916.6 million from $861.0 million at December 31, 2024, driven by the increase in earned premium from the renewal of reinsurance treaties and new business, coupled with an increase in the overall loss ratio. This was offset partially by paid losses during Q1 2025. See Note 7 “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of changes in outstanding loss and LAE reserves and a description of prior period loss developments.

Our total loss and LAE recoverable increased by $2.2 million, or 2.5%, to $88.0 million from $85.8 million at December 31, 2024. See Note 8 “Retrocession” of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the credit risk associated with our retrocessionaires.

Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”)

At April 1, 2025, our estimated largest PML at a 1-in-250-year return period for a single event, and in aggregate, was $122.9 million and $136.0 million, respectively, both relating to the peril of North Atlantic Hurricane, compared to $116.3 million and $129.1 million, respectively, at January 1, 2025.

The below table contains the expected modeled loss for each of our peak peril regions and sub-regions for both a single event loss and aggregate loss measures at the 1-in-250-year return period.

Debt

Our total debt decreased by $0.9 million, or 1.5%, to $59.8 million from $60.7 million at December 31, 2024 due to the quarterly loan installment payment. Refer to Note 9 “Debt and Credit Facilities” of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Total shareholders’ equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $30.9 million to $666.8 million, compared to $635.9 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the net income of $29.6 million reported for the period, coupled with share-based compensation adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
