- Significant transactions
CM Bermuda Settlement and Share Repurchase
On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), and concurrently therewith, a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement” and, together with the Settlement Agreement, collectively, the “CMIG Agreement”), in each case, with CM Bermuda Limited (the “Seller”) and CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd.
The Company paid the Seller a total consideration of $261.3 million upon the closing of the transactions under the CMIG Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the Seller for full satisfaction and discharge of all obligations and all other claims of any nature related to the Company’s Series A Preference Shares held by the Seller and the related Certificate of Designation of Series A Preference Shares of the Company, and recorded a loss of $90.7 million in Loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments in the Company’s consolidated income statement. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 9,077,705 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares held by the Seller for $125.0 million, which had a repurchase date fair value of $129.7 million. The repurchased shares were cancelled and retired.
On April 30, 2024, SiriusPoint America Insurance Company (“SiriusPoint America”), a subsidiary of SiriusPoint Ltd., entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”), dated as of April 30, 2024, made by and between SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon National”), an insurer domiciled in Texas and an affiliate of Enstar Group Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Enstar”).
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, among other documents, (a) SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National will enter into a Loss Portfolio Transfer Reinsurance Agreement (the “LPT Agreement”), pursuant to which SiriusPoint America will cede and Clarendon National will assume 100% of the net liability with respect to certain workers’ compensation insurance exposures of SiriusPoint America (the “Subject Business”) on a funds withheld basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the LPT Agreement including an aggregate limit; (b) SiriusPoint America and an affiliate of Clarendon National (the “Administrator”) will enter into an Administrative Services Agreement concerning the Administrator’s authority and responsibility for certain administrative services related to the Subject Business, including claims handling; and (c) Enstar shall issue a Parental Guarantee in favor of SiriusPoint America guaranteeing Clarendon National’s obligations under the LPT Agreement. In certain circumstances and in lieu of the guarantee obligations provided thereunder, Clarendon National may post letters of credit as collateral securing Clarendon National’s reinsurance obligations with respect to the Subject Business. Immediately prior to the effective date of the LPT Agreement, SiriusPoint will be commuting certain ceded workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts, and the liabilities related to those commuted contracts will be included in the Subject Business.
This transaction covers approximately $400 million of SiriusPoint reserves, including liabilities to be commuted, valued as of December 31, 2023 and the reinsurance premium. The aggregate limit under the LPT Agreement is 150% of the premium paid less certain adjustments for paid losses in the interim period prior to the effective date of the contract. The Master Agreement and the LPT Agreement include customary representations and warranties, indemnification obligations, covenants and termination rights of the parties.
The Company received the appropriate regulatory approvals and the transaction closed on October 1, 2024. The financial impacts of the transaction will be included in the Company’s fourth quarter results, and SiriusPoint America expects to recognize a loss of approximately $22.0 million.

The transaction covered loss reserves ceded initially estimated at $1.3 billion as of the valuation date of September 30, 2022, which were reduced to $905.6 million as of June 30, 2023 at closing, as a result of paid losses and favorable prior accident year reserve development recognized during the interim period, and included in Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded funds held payable of $593.4 million in Reinsurance balances payable and reinsurance recoverable of $626.5 million, and the Company’s estimate of deferred gain is $21.7 million. The

- Segment reporting
The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of its operations. The Company reportstwo operating segments: Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. The Company’s segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO assesses segment operating performance, allocates capital, and makes resource allocation decisions based on Segment income (loss). The Company does not manage its assets by segment; accordingly, total assets are not allocated to the segments.
Reinsurance
In the Reinsurance segment, the Company provides reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, the Company participates in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. The Company primarily writes treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provides facultative reinsurance in some of its business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, the Company’s core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America, while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe.
The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.
Casualty – the Company provides reinsurance to casualty insurers who underwrite a diverse range of casualty classes. The Company works with clients all over the world, including multi-national, nationwide and regional carriers, as well as risk retention groups and captives. The Company also partners with managing general agents (“MGAs”) and sponsor cover holders. The Company’s underwriting focus is on proportional transactions covering all major commercial casualty lines, as well professional liability with an emphasis on specialty niche classes of business, including personal lines.
Property – the Company works with leading global brokers as well as large national writers and regional companies. Underwriting is focused on providing critical catastrophe protection and worldwide coverage for natural perils, underwriting residential, commercial, and industrial risks in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company’s property reinsurance offering includes: property catastrophe protection, risk excess of loss, cannabis - pro rata, building risk and structured property specifically in the United States. In 2023, as part of its international reorganization, the Company significantly reduced its international property catastrophe premiums written, with reinsurance protection purchased at similar costs but with lower attachment points to further protect the balance sheet.
Specialty - the Company’s business encompasses a broad range of worldwide reinsurance coverages, including proportional and excess of loss, treaty and facultative. Specialty business lines in the Reinsurance segment include Aviation & Space, Marine & Energy and Credit.
Insurance & Services
Through the Insurance & Services segment, the Company underwrites primary insurance in a number of sectors. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Casualty, and Specialty.
Accident and Health (“A&H”) – the Company provides flexible insurance products to meet the risk management needs of diverse populations in select markets. This includes employer groups, associations, affinity groups, higher education and other niche markets. The Company also owns 100% of International Medical Group, Inc. (“IMG”) and ArmadaCorp Capital, LLC (“Armada”), who receive fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. IMG offers a full line of international medical insurance products, trip cancellation programs, medical management services and 24/7 emergency medical and travel assistance. Armada operates as a supplemental medical insurance MGA.
Property & Casualty - the Company is a leading carrier for program administrators and MGAs. The majority of its insurance business is written through partners in the property and casualty space, covering professional liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto lines in Bermuda, London, Europe, North America and round the world.
Specialty - the Company’s business encompasses a broad range of worldwide insurance coverages. Specialty business lines in the Insurance & Services segment include Aviation & Space, Marine & Energy, Credit and Mortgage.
Management uses segment income (loss) as the primary basis for assessing segment performance. Segment income (loss) is comprised of two components, underwriting income (loss) and net services income (loss). The Company calculates underwriting income (loss) by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned. Net services income (loss) consists of services revenues (fee for service revenue), services expenses, and services non-controlling (income) loss. This definition of segment income (loss) aligns with how business performance is managed and monitored. We continue to evaluate our segments as our business evolves and may further refine our segments and segment income (loss) measures. Certain items are presented in a different manner for segment reporting purposes than in the consolidated statements of income. These items are reconciled to the consolidated presentation in the segment measure reclass column below. Included in Insurance & Services segment income (loss) are services noncontrolling loss (income) attributable to minority shareholders on non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, services revenues and services expenses are reconciled to other revenues and net corporate and other expenses, respectively.
Segment results are shown prior to corporate eliminations. Corporate eliminations are included in the elimination column below as necessary to reconcile to underwriting income (loss), net services income (loss), and segment income (loss) to the consolidated statements of income.
Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which the Company no longer writes. In addition, revenue and expenses managed at the corporate level, including realized gains (losses), other investment income, including gains (losses) from strategic investments, net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from related party investment funds, non services-related other revenues, non services-related net corporate and other expenses, intangible asset amortization, interest expense, foreign exchange (gains) losses and income tax (expense) benefit are reported within Corporate. The CEO does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these items and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income (loss).
The following is a summary of the Company’s operating segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

- Fair value measurements
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the investment, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
The following tables present the Company’s investments, categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not reclassify its assets or liabilities between Levels 2 and 3 (December 31, 2023 - no reclassifications).
Valuation techniques
The Company uses independent pricing services to assist in determining fair values for its investments. For investments in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services to determine fair value. In circumstances where quoted market prices are unavailable or are not considered reasonable, the Company estimates the fair value using industry standard pricing models and observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, prepayment speeds, reference data including research publications, and other relevant inputs. Given that many debt securities do not trade on a daily basis, the independent pricing services evaluate a wide range of fixed maturity investments by regularly drawing parallels from recent trades and quotes of comparable securities with similar features. The characteristics used to identify comparable debt securities vary by asset type and take into account market convention.
The techniques and inputs specific to asset classes within the Company’s debt securities and short-term investments for Level 2 securities that use observable inputs are as follows:
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities
The fair value of mortgage and asset-backed securities is primarily priced by independent pricing services using a pricing model that uses information from market sources and leveraging similar securities. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, underlying tranche cash flow data, collateral performance, plus new issue data, as well as broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including issuer, vintage, loan type, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds, default rates, recovery rates, cash flow stress testing, credit quality ratings and market research publications.
Corporate debt securities
Corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate issuers and industries. The corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by independent pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the independent pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The independent pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk.
U.S. government and government agency
U.S. government and government agency securities consist primarily of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. Fixed maturity investments included in U.S. government and government agency securities are primarily priced by independent pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the independent pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.
Non-U.S. government and government agency
Non-U.S. government and government agency securities consist of debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies along with supranational organizations (also known as sovereign debt securities). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by independent pricing services who employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The independent pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the independent pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
U.S. states, municipalities, and political subdivisions
The U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions portfolio contains debt securities issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipal entities. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services using the techniques for U.S. government and government agency securities.
Preferred stocks
The fair value of preferred stocks is generally priced by independent pricing services using an evaluated pricing model that calculates the appropriate spread over a comparable security for each issue. Key inputs include exchange prices (underlying and common stock of same issuer), benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including sector, coupon, credit quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, early redemption features and market research publications.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills, certificates of deposit and other securities, which, at the time of purchase, mature within a period of greater than three months but less than one year. These investments are generally priced by independent pricing services using the techniques described for U.S. government and government agency securities and Corporate debt securities described above.
Investments measured using Net Asset Value
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships, including its investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. The Company has elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on the Company’s share of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.
The fair value of the Company's investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of the Company's proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual partnership capital statements primarily with a one or three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available to the Company with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the NAVs, the Company performs a number of monitoring procedures on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, to assess the quality of the information provided by the investment manager and fund administrator underlying the preparation of the NAV. These procedures include, but are not limited to, regular review and discussion of the fund’s performance with the investment manager.
These investments are included in investment in funds valued at NAV and excluded from the presentation of investments categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 3 Investments
Level 3 valuations are generated from techniques that use assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's assumptions, that market participants would use in valuing the investment. Generally, certain securities may start out as Level 3 when they are originally issued but as observable inputs become available in the market, they may be reclassified to Level 2.
The Company employs a number of procedures to assess the reasonableness of the fair value measurements for its other long-term investments, including obtaining and reviewing the audited annual financial statements of hedge funds and private equity funds and periodically discussing each fund's pricing with the fund manager. However, since the fund managers do not provide sufficient information to evaluate the pricing inputs and methods for each underlying investment, the inputs are considered to be unobservable.
The fair values of the Company's investments in private equity securities, private debt instruments, certain private equity funds, and certain hedge funds have been classified as Level 3 measurements. Private equity securities and private debt instruments are initially valued based on transaction price and their valuation is subsequently estimated based on available evidence such as a market transaction in similar instruments and other financial information for the issuer.
For strategic investments carried at fair value, management either engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determination of the fair value based on commonly accepted valuation methods (i.e., income approach, market approach) as of the valuation date or performs valuation internally. In addition, investors fair value analyses prepared by third party valuation specialists working with strategic investment operating management are referenced where available. Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our strategic investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.
See Note 9 for additional information on the fair values of derivative financial instruments used for both risk management and investment purposes.
Underwriting-related derivatives
Underwriting-related derivatives include reinsurance contracts that are accounted for as derivatives. These derivative contracts are initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these derivatives are determined using internally developed discounted cash flow models. As the significant inputs used to price these derivatives are unobservable, the fair values of these contracts are classified as Level 3.
The following tables present the reconciliation of all investments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

- Investments
The Company’s invested assets consist of investment securities and other long-term investments held for general investment purposes. The portfolio of investment securities includes debt securities available for sale, debt securities held for trading, short-term investments, and other long-term investments which are classified as trading securities with the exception of debt securities held as available for sale. Realized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported in pre-tax revenues. Unrealized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported based on classification. Trading securities flow through pre-tax revenues, whereas securities classified as available for sale (“AFS”) flow through other comprehensive income.
For debt securities classified as AFS for which a decline in the fair value between the amortized cost is due to credit-related factors, an allowance is established for the difference between the estimated recoverable value and amortized cost with a corresponding impact to the consolidated statements of income. The allowance is limited to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. A credit loss impairment assessment is performed on securities using both quantitative and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors include significant declines in fair value below amortized cost. Additionally, a qualitative assessment is also performed over debt securities to evaluate potential credit losses. Examples of qualitative indicators include issuer credit downgrades as well as changes to credit spreads.
Declines in fair value related to a debt security that do not relate to a credit loss are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

- Derivatives
The Company holds derivatives for both risk management and investment purposes.
Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives
The Company executes foreign currency forwards, swaps, and futures to manage foreign currency exposure. The foreign currency exchange rate derivatives are not designated or accounted for under hedge accounting. The fair value of the swaps and forwards are estimated using a single broker quote, and accordingly, are classified as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the futures is widely available and have quoted prices in active markets, and accordingly, were classified as a Level 1 measurement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company pledgedno securities collateral associated with the foreign currency derivatives (December 31, 2023 - $42.2 million). These securities are included in debt securities, available for sale, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Weather derivatives
The Company holds assets and assumes liabilities related to weather and weather contingent risk management products. Weather and weather contingent derivative contracts are entered into with the objective of generating profits in normal climatic conditions. Accordingly, the Company’s weather and weather contingent derivatives are not designed to meet the criteria for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. The Company receives payment of premium at the contract inception in exchange for bearing the risk of variations in a quantifiable weather index. Management uses available market data and internal pricing models based upon consistent statistical methodologies to estimate the fair value. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company's weather risk contracts, the fair value measurements of the contracts are deemed to be Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024. The Company does not provide or hold any collateral associated with the weather derivatives.
Credit default swap
Credit default swaps protect the buyer against the loss of principal on one or more underlying bonds, loans, or mortgages in the event the issuer suffers a credit event. The Company provides its client with protection against financial non-performance of a subsidiary. The fair value of the swap is estimated using a single broker quote, and accordingly, is classified as a Level 3 measurement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company hasno pledges in securities collateral associated with the credit default swap (December 31, 2023 - $22.3 million). These securities are included in debt securities, available for sale, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

- Variable and voting interest entities
The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity ("VOE") in which it has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VOE or VIE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.
Consolidated variable interest entities
Alstead Re
Alstead Reinsurance Ltd. (“Alstead Re”) is considered a VIE and the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Alstead Re because the Company can exercise control over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Alstead Re. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alstead Re in its consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, Alstead Re’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $7.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2023 - $14.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively).
Arcadian
Prior to June 30, 2024, Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”) was considered a VIE and the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of Arcadian because the Company could exercise control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Arcadian. As a result, the Company consolidated the results of Arcadian in its consolidated financial statements.
Effective June 30, 2024, the Company deconsolidated Arcadian when the Company’s management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’ agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in the Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated and removed the carrying value of Arcadian's assets of $177.4 million and liabilities of $143.2 million and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest of $17.5 million attributed to Arcadian from its consolidated balance sheet on June 30, 2024. A gain of $95.9 million was recognized by the Company as a result of deconsolidation, which was recorded in Other revenues in the Company’s consolidated income statement in the second quarter of 2024. On June 30, 2024, the Company accounted for its retained equity investment in Arcadian under the equity method of accounting and recorded its noncontrolling interest in Arcadian at an estimated fair value of approximately $115.0 million, which was determined by an independent valuation specialist, in Other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded its share of net income in Other revenues in its consolidated income statement. The Company’s ownership in Arcadian remained 49% as of September 30, 2024.
Banyan
In January 2023, Banyan Risk Ltd. (“Banyan”) completed a recapitalization in which the Company’s ownership decreased from 100% to 49%. After the recapitalization, Banyan was considered a VIE and the Company was its primary beneficiary as it could exercise control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Banyan. The Company consolidated the results of Banyan in its consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2023. In October 2023, the Company sold the remainder of its ownership to Banyan and deconsolidated upon sale effective October 1, 2023.
Consolidated voting interest entities
Alta Signa

Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Company is a passive investor in certain third-party-managed hedge and private equity funds, some of which are VIEs. The Company is not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor does it actively participate in the management of the VIEs. The exposure to loss from these investments is limited to the carrying value of the investments at the balance sheet date.
The Company calculates maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where the Company has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. The Company does not have any VIEs that it sponsors nor any VIEs where it has recourse to it or has provided a guarantee to the VIE interest holders.
The following table presents total assets of unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, as well as the maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| Maximum Exposure to Loss | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total VIE Assets | On-Balance Sheet | Off-Balance Sheet | Total | |
| Other long-term investments (1) | $142.4 | $95.0 | $112.7 | $207.7 |
| Other long-term investments (1) | $189.8 | $126.2 | $5.7 | $131.9 |
(1)Excludes the Company’s investments in Related Party Investment Funds which are also VIEs and are discussed separately below.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company and TP GP hold interests of approximately 89.2% and 10.8%, respectively, of the net asset value of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, both entities hold significant financial interests in TP Enhanced Fund. However, TP GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate TP Enhanced Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investments in the TP Enhanced Fund. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in the TP Enhanced Fund.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund I LP
TP Venture GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investment in the TP Venture Fund. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in the TP Venture Fund.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund II LP
TP Venture GP II controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund II. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund II. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investment in TP Venture Fund II. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in TP Venture Fund II.
- Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
The following table represents the activity in the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| September 30, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of period | $5,608.1 | $5,268.7 |

| Gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, end of period | $5,702.1 | $5,448.8 |
(1)Net reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses transferred represents the transfer of reserves under the 2023 LPT
(2)Deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance are recorded in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance are presented as a separate line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's prior year reserve development arises from changes to estimates of losses and loss adjustment expenses related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $70.6 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development primarily resulting from favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H and the runoff business due to lower than expected reported attritional losses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $163.1 million of favorable net prior year loss reserve development primarily resulting from management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, which represents $122.2 million of the favorable loss reserve development.
- Allowance for expected credit losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of its insurance and reinsurance products and services. The financial assets in scope of the current expected credit losses impairment model primarily include the Company’s insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable. The Company pools these amounts by counterparty credit rating and applies a credit default rate that is determined based on the studies published by the rating agencies (e.g., AM Best, Standard & Poor's (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings, Demotech). In circumstances where ratings are unavailable, the Company applies an internally developed default rate based on historical experience, reference data including research publications, and other relevant inputs.
The Company's assets in scope of the current expected credit loss assessment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance and reinsurance balances receivable, net | $2,069.1 | $1,966.3 |
| Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, net | 2,198.7 | 2,295.1 |
| Other assets (1) | 104.2 | 76.8 |
| Total assets in scope | $4,372.0 | $4,338.2 |
(1)Relates to MGA trade receivables (included in Other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets), loans receivables (included in Other long-term investments in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and interest and dividend receivables.
The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was $28.4 million as of September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $28.8 million). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded current expected credit gains of $nil and $0.4 million, respectively (2023 -none andnone, respectively). Changes to the current expected credit losses are included in net corporate and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings and macroeconomic conditions, and considers the most current ratings from credit rating agencies to determine the allowance each quarter. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 66% of the total gross assets in scope were balances with counterparties rated by major credit rating agencies and, of the total rated,84% were rated A- or better.

| Letters of Credit · Collateral | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Committed Capacity · Issued · Cash and Cash Equivalents · Debt securities | |||||||

| $1,205.5 | $27.7 | $1,341.9 | |||||
The Company’s secured letter of credit facilities are bilateral agreements that generally renew on an annual basis. The letters of credit issued under the secured letter of credit facilities are fully collateralized. The above referenced facilities are subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that the Company considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. See Note 5 for additional information.
Interest expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 total interest expense includes $12.4 million and $36.2 million, respectively, associated with debt obligations (2023 - $11.3 million and $33.3 million, respectively) and $5.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, of funds withheld interest from the 2023 LPT (2023 - $8.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively), as well as income associated with reinsurance contracts and a gain on the commutation of a deposit accounted contract. See Note 3 “Significant transactions” for further discussion on the 2023 LPT.

- Income taxes
The Company provides income tax expense or benefit based upon pre-tax income or loss reported in the consolidated statements of income and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to income taxes imposed by the government of Bermuda. Starting in 2025, a 15% corporate income tax is expected to apply to the Company’s Bermuda operations as a result of the enactment of the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the “Bermuda CIT”). The Bermuda CIT legislation includes specific provisions intended to administer a fair and equitable transition into the new tax system, referred to as the economic transition adjustment (“ETA”) and opening tax loss carryforward (“OTLC”). The Company expects that SiriusPoint Ltd. and at least one of its major subsidiaries organized and operating in Bermuda will be subject to these provisions. The Company expects its in-scope entities will incur increased tax expense in Bermuda beginning in 2025.
The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which the Company's subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong (China), Luxembourg, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
For thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million and $26.3 million, respectively (2023 - $15.3 million and $56.6 million, respectively) on pre-tax income of $11.1 million and $245.7 million, respectively (2023 - $79.1 million and $320.6 million, respectively). The effective tax rates for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 21.6% and 10.7%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates on income from continuing operations and the Bermuda statutory tax rate of 0.0% is primarily because of income recognized in jurisdictions with higher tax rates than Bermuda, and adjustments pursuant to applicable U.S. GAAP guidance on interim period financial reporting of taxes, which are based on the annual estimated effective tax rate.
In arriving at the estimated annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company took into consideration all year-to-date income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) and such items on a forecasted basis for the remainder of each year.
In December 2021, the OECD published two global anti-base erosion model rules under Pillar Two (the “GloBE Rules”), which implement a 15% global minimum tax applicable for multinational groups. The first GloBE Rule is the income inclusion rule (“IIR”), which imposes “top-up” tax on a parent entity in respect of the income of a subsidiary that is taxed at less than 15%. The second GloBE Rule is the “undertaxed payments” rule, which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the income of an affiliate is taxed at less than 15%. On January 1, 2024, the GloBE Rules went into effect in the EU, including a minimum top-up tax rate of 15% for multinational companies, with many EU member states enacting corollary legislation as part of their respective domestic tax laws. The Company will continue to monitor how the relevant countries have enacted Pillar Two. Pillar Two is not expected to have a material impact to the current year financial statements.
Uncertain tax positions
Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is $2.3 million as of September 30, 2024, which did not materially change compared to December 31, 2023. If the Company determines in the future that its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits on permanent differences and interest and penalties are not needed, the reversal of $1.6 million of such reserves as of September 30, 2024 would be recorded as an income tax benefit and would impact the effective tax rate. The remaining balance is accrued interest and penalties.
