NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

  1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (“GLRE” and, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on July 13, 2004. The Company is a global specialty property and casualty reinsurer headquartered in the Cayman Islands. The ordinary shares of GLRE are listed on Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GLRE.”

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. The financial statements include the accounts of GLRE and the consolidated financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Tabular dollars are in thousands, with the exception of per share amounts or otherwise noted. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars.

Reclassifications

The following amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current condensed consolidated financial statements:

The Company has reported separately “Underwriting expenses” from “Corporate and other expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, which were previously combined and reported as “General and administrative expenses”. This resulted in no change to the previously reported total expenses or net income.

The Company has reclassified investment-related income from Lloyd’s syndicates, which was previously presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Other income, net”, to “Net investment income”. This resulted in no change to the previously reported total revenues or net income.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies subsequent to its 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic (740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. While early adoption is permitted, a public company should apply the amendments prospectively. This ASU is effective for the Company’s 2025 year-end financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This ASU 2024-03 requires more detailed disclosures about the type of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation / amortization) in commonly presented expense captions in the consolidated income statements (e.g. cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact of the above new ASUs.

  1. INVESTMENT IN RELATED PARTY INVESTMENT FUND

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to Solasglas Investments, LP (“Solasglas”) is limited to GLRE's share of Partners’ capital in Solasglas. At March 31, 2025, GLRE’s share of Partners’ capital in Solasglas was $435.3 million (December 31, 2024: $387.1 million), representing 77.8% (December 31, 2024:77.9%) of Solasglas’ total net assets. DME Advisors II, LLC held the remaining 22.2% (December 31, 2024:22.1%) of Solasglas’ total net assets.

The Company’s share of the net increase in Partner’s capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $32.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2024: a net increase of $18.2 million), as shown in the caption “Income (loss) from investment in related party investment fund” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses interest rate swaps in connection with its risk management activities to hedge 50% of the interest rate risk relating to the outstanding Term Loans (see Note 9). The interest rate swaps are carried at fair value and are determined using a market approach valuation technique based on significant observable market inputs from third-party pricing vendors. Accordingly, the interest rates swaps are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges under U.S. GAAP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 , the Company recognized an unrealized loss for the above derivatives of $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of $0.5 million, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Estimates for Catastrophe Events

At March 31, 2025, the Company’s net reserves for losses and LAE include estimated amounts for catastrophe and weather-related events (the “CAT losses”). The magnitude and volume of losses arising from these events is inherently uncertain, and, consequently, actual losses for these events may ultimately differ, potentially materially, from current estimates.

CAT events in 2025

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred CAT losses of $27.0 million relating to the California wildfires.

CAT events in 2024

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred CAT losses of $12.4 million driven mainly by the Baltimore Bridge collapse.

Prior Year Reserve Development

The Company’s net favorable (adverse) prior year development arises from changes to estimates for losses and LAE related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years. The following table presents net prior year reserve development by segment and consolidated:

Favorable (Adverse)
Open MarketInnovationsTotal SegmentsCorporateTotal Consolidated
Three months ended March 31, 2025$(4,896)$567$(4,329)$111$(4,218)
Three months ended March 31, 2024$(1,473)$1$(1,472)$(3,929)$(5,401)

Open Market Segment:

The net adverse reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was composed of $23.2 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the casualty line (various underwriting years) due to current economic and social inflation trends. This was partially offset by $18.3 million of favorable reserve development on property (mostly 2024 underwriting year) and specialty lines (mostly 2022-2024 underwriting years) due to better than expected loss emergence.

The net adverse reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was composed of $4.1 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the casualty line (2015-2017 underwriting years) and specialty line (2022-2023 underwriting years) due to current economic and social inflation trends. This was partially offset by $2.7 million of favorable reserve development predominantly on multiline business (various underwriting years) due to better than expected loss emergence.

Innovations Segment:

The net favorable reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to better than expected loss emergence on multiline and specialty lines (2022-2023 underwriting years).

Corporate - Runoff Business:

Corporate represents the Innovations related property runoff business. The favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development for the above periods relate to CAT losses driven by the U.S. tornados (2021-2023 underwriting years).

  1. RETROCESSION

The following table provides a breakdown of ceded reinsurance:

Gross ceded premiums$28,548$23,181
Earned ceded premiums$19,292$15,242
Loss and loss adjustment expenses ceded$6,656$23,076

Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to its cedents. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.

The following table shows a breakdown of losses recoverable on a gross and net of collateral basis:

March 31, 2025 · December 31, 2024
