Our NPE increased as the quarter benefited from the earnings from higher net premiums written in the prior year. Our policy acquisition expense ratio increased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. Our underwriting ratio in the Specialty segment was flat compared to the prior year period. The following table is a summary of our Specialty segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 111.0 $ 91.8 $ 19.2 Catastrophe and large losses 97.9 18.4 79.5 (Favorable)/adverse prior year development (34.4 ) 30.5 (64.9 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 174.5 $ 140.7 $ 33.8 Loss ratio - attritional losses 31.5 % 34.5 % (3.0) pts Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses 27.8 % 6.9 % 20.9 pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (9.8 )% 11.5 % (21.3) pts Loss ratio 49.5 % 52.9 % (3.4) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Specialty segment improved by 3.4 points.

The large losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $51.2 million for the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business together with other smaller losses in various lines of business including Aviation and Aerospace, Marine and Property D&F. The favorable prior year development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven primarily by better than expected loss emergence in the Marine and Property D&F lines of business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our underwriting ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 59.9 points from the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in our loss ratio.

The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 83.8 points lower than the prior year period. The prior year period was impacted by southern hemisphere storm and flood losses, whereas the current year period saw a very low level of loss activity. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by benign prior year attritional experience. Other Underwriting Expenses We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment. The Fidelis Partnership Commissions For the three months ended March 31, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $76.7 million or 15.7% of the combined ratio (2023: $24.2 million and 6.3% of the combined ratio), and comprise ceding and profit commissions as part of the Framework Agreement effective from January 1, 2023. The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group.

Net Investment Income The increase in our net investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to the increase in investible assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we purchased $428.7 million of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.9%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, and therefore are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G. RPI Measure Renewal price index (RPI) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording.

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED) Operating net income: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax effect on these items. Return on average common equity (“ROAE”): represents net income divided by average common shareholders’ equity. Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. Operating net income per diluted share (“Operating EPS”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Group’s results in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Group’s underlying business performance. Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Operating return on opening common equity (“Operating ROE”): is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders’ equity. The table below sets out the calculation of the adjusted common shareholders’ equity, operating net income, ROAE, Operating ROE, Operating ROAE and Operating EPS, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Our NPE increased as the quarter benefited from the earnings from higher net premiums written in the prior year. Our policy acquisition expense ratio increased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. Our underwriting ratio in the Specialty segment was flat compared to the prior year period. The following table is a summary of our Specialty segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 111.0 $ 91.8 $ 19.2 Catastrophe and large losses 97.9 18.4 79.5 (Favorable)/adverse prior year development (34.4 ) 30.5 (64.9 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 174.5 $ 140.7 $ 33.8 Loss ratio - attritional losses 31.5 % 34.5 % (3.0) pts Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses 27.8 % 6.9 % 20.9 pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (9.8 )% 11.5 % (21.3) pts Loss ratio 49.5 % 52.9 % (3.4) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Specialty segment improved by 3.4 points. The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended March 31, 2024 improved by 3.0 points compared to the prior year period due to a lower level of small losses in the current year period. The large losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $51.2 million for the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business together with other smaller losses in various lines of business including Aviation and Aerospace, Marine and Property D&F. The favorable prior year development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven primarily by better than expected loss emergence in the Marine and Property D&F lines of business. Bespoke Segment The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s underwriting results: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Gross premiums written $ 153.5 $ 150.8 $ 2.7 Reinsurance premium ceded (100.7 ) (69.1 ) (31.6 ) Net premiums written 52.8 81.7 (28.9 ) Net premiums earned 89.9 91.2 (1.3 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses (23.4 ) (13.1 ) (10.3 ) Policy acquisition expenses (30.3 ) (33.3 ) 3.0 Underwriting income $ 36.2 $ 44.8 $ (8.6 ) Loss ratio 26.0 % 14.4 % 11.6 pts Policy acquisition expense ratio 33.7 % 36.5 % (2.8) pts Underwriting ratio 59.7 % 50.9 % 8.8 pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, GPW and NPE remained relatively consistent.

The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 27.5 $ 18.9 $ 8.6 Large losses 4.2 3.0 1.2 Favorable prior year development (8.3 ) (8.8 ) 0.5 Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 23.4 $ 13.1 $ 10.3 Loss ratio - attritional losses 30.5 % 20.7 % 9.8 pts Loss ratio - large losses 4.7 % 3.3 % 1.4 pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (9.2 )% (9.6 )% 0.4 pts Loss ratio 26.0 % 14.4 % 11.6 pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Bespoke segment increased driven by higher attritional losses in the current year period. The increase in the attritional loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to a single loss of $5 million. The favorable prior year development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by better than expected loss activity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our policy acquisition expense ratio decreased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our underwriting ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 59.9 points from the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in our loss ratio. The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 7.8 $ 28.8 $ (21.0 ) Catastrophe and large losses 0.9 0.8 0.1 Favorable prior year development (24.3 ) (23.8 ) (0.5 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ (15.6 ) $ 5.8 $ (21.4 ) Loss ratio - attritional losses 16.9 % 100.7 % (83.8) pts Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses 2.0 % 2.8 % (0.8) pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (52.9 )% (83.2 )% 30.3 pts Loss ratio (34.0 )% 20.3 % (54.3) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 54.3 points from the prior year period, driven by a reduction in attritional losses. The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 83.8 points lower than the prior year period. The prior year period was impacted by southern hemisphere storm and flood losses, whereas the current year period saw a very low level of loss activity. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by benign prior year attritional experience. Other Underwriting Expenses We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment. The Fidelis Partnership Commissions For the three months ended March 31, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $76.7 million or 15.7% of the combined ratio (2023: $24.2 million and 6.3% of the combined ratio), and comprise ceding and profit commissions as part of the Framework Agreement effective from January 1, 2023. The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 ($ in millions) Ceding commission expense $ 67.7 $ 12.1 Profit commission expense 9.0 12.1 Total commissions $ 76.7 $ 24.2 General and Administrative Expenses For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $23.6 million, or 4.8% of the combined ratio (2023: $16.6 million and 4.3% of the combined ratio). The increase was driven primarily by employment costs relating to increased head count from the build out of the team after the Separation Transactions. Investments Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 ($ in millions) Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) $ (9.0 ) $ 2.8 Net investment income 41.0 20.4 Net investment return $ 32.0 $ 23.2 Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses) The net realized and unrealized investment losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $201.2 million of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 0.9%, the proceeds of which were reinvested at higher yields. Net Investment Income The increase in our net investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to the increase in investible assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we purchased $428.7 million of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.9%.

For additional information about Fidelis Insurance, our people, and our products please visit our website at www.FidelisInsurance.com. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, and therefore are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G. RPI Measure Renewal price index (RPI) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording.

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED) Operating net income: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax effect on these items. Return on average common equity (“ROAE”): represents net income divided by average common shareholders’ equity. Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. Operating net income per diluted share (“Operating EPS”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Group’s results in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Group’s underlying business performance. Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Operating return on opening common equity (“Operating ROE”): is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders’ equity. The table below sets out the calculation of the adjusted common shareholders’ equity, operating net income, ROAE, Operating ROE, Operating ROAE and Operating EPS, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Our NPE increased as the quarter benefited from the earnings from higher net premiums written in the prior year. Our policy acquisition expense ratio increased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. Our underwriting ratio in the Specialty segment was flat compared to the prior year period. The following table is a summary of our Specialty segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 111.0 $ 91.8 $ 19.2 Catastrophe and large losses 97.9 18.4 79.5 (Favorable)/adverse prior year development (34.4 ) 30.5 (64.9 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 174.5 $ 140.7 $ 33.8 Loss ratio - attritional losses 31.5 % 34.5 % (3.0) pts Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses 27.8 % 6.9 % 20.9 pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (9.8 )% 11.5 % (21.3) pts Loss ratio 49.5 % 52.9 % (3.4) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Specialty segment improved by 3.4 points. The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended March 31, 2024 improved by 3.0 points compared to the prior year period due to a lower level of small losses in the current year period. The large losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $51.2 million for the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business together with other smaller losses in various lines of business including Aviation and Aerospace, Marine and Property D&F. The favorable prior year development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven primarily by better than expected loss emergence in the Marine and Property D&F lines of business. Bespoke Segment The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s underwriting results: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Gross premiums written $ 153.5 $ 150.8 $ 2.7 Reinsurance premium ceded (100.7 ) (69.1 ) (31.6 ) Net premiums written 52.8 81.7 (28.9 ) Net premiums earned 89.9 91.2 (1.3 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses (23.4 ) (13.1 ) (10.3 ) Policy acquisition expenses (30.3 ) (33.3 ) 3.0 Underwriting income $ 36.2 $ 44.8 $ (8.6 ) Loss ratio 26.0 % 14.4 % 11.6 pts Policy acquisition expense ratio 33.7 % 36.5 % (2.8) pts Underwriting ratio 59.7 % 50.9 % 8.8 pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, GPW and NPE remained relatively consistent. Our policy acquisition expense ratio decreased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. Our underwriting ratio in the Bespoke segment increased by 8.8 points from the prior year period, driven by an increase in our loss ratio. The following table is a summary of our Bespoke segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 27.5 $ 18.9 $ 8.6 Large losses 4.2 3.0 1.2 Favorable prior year development (8.3 ) (8.8 ) 0.5 Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 23.4 $ 13.1 $ 10.3 Loss ratio - attritional losses 30.5 % 20.7 % 9.8 pts Loss ratio - large losses 4.7 % 3.3 % 1.4 pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (9.2 )% (9.6 )% 0.4 pts Loss ratio 26.0 % 14.4 % 11.6 pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Bespoke segment increased driven by higher attritional losses in the current year period. The increase in the attritional loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to a single loss of $5 million. The favorable prior year development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by better than expected loss activity. Reinsurance Segment The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s underwriting results: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Gross premiums written $ 326.8 $ 260.4 $ 66.4 Reinsurance premium ceded (229.2 ) (175.4 ) (53.8 ) Net premiums written 97.6 85.0 12.6 Net premiums earned 45.9 28.6 17.3 Losses and loss adjustment expenses 15.6 (5.8 ) 21.4 Policy acquisition expenses (6.1 ) (5.4 ) (0.7 ) Underwriting income $ 55.4 $ 17.4 $ 38.0 Loss ratio (34.0 )% 20.3 % (54.3) pts Policy acquisition expense ratio 13.3 % 18.9 % (5.6) pts Underwriting ratio (20.7 )% 39.2 % (59.9) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024 GPW increased driven by rate increases as well as new business, while NPE increased driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our policy acquisition expense ratio decreased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded, and commissions earned from reinsurance partners. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our underwriting ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 59.9 points from the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in our loss ratio. The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment’s losses and loss adjustment expenses: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change ($ in millions) Attritional losses $ 7.8 $ 28.8 $ (21.0 ) Catastrophe and large losses 0.9 0.8 0.1 Favorable prior year development (24.3 ) (23.8 ) (0.5 ) Losses and loss adjustment expenses $ (15.6 ) $ 5.8 $ (21.4 ) Loss ratio - attritional losses 16.9 % 100.7 % (83.8) pts Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses 2.0 % 2.8 % (0.8) pts Loss ratio - prior accident years (52.9 )% (83.2 )% 30.3 pts Loss ratio (34.0 )% 20.3 % (54.3) pts For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Reinsurance segment improved by 54.3 points from the prior year period, driven by a reduction in attritional losses. The attritional loss ratio in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 83.8 points lower than the prior year period. The prior year period was impacted by southern hemisphere storm and flood losses, whereas the current year period saw a very low level of loss activity. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by benign prior year attritional experience. Other Underwriting Expenses We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment. The Fidelis Partnership Commissions For the three months ended March 31, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $76.7 million or 15.7% of the combined ratio (2023: $24.2 million and 6.3% of the combined ratio), and comprise ceding and profit commissions as part of the Framework Agreement effective from January 1, 2023. The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 ($ in millions) Ceding commission expense $ 67.7 $ 12.1 Profit commission expense 9.0 12.1 Total commissions $ 76.7 $ 24.2 General and Administrative Expenses For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $23.6 million, or 4.8% of the combined ratio (2023: $16.6 million and 4.3% of the combined ratio). The increase was driven primarily by employment costs relating to increased head count from the build out of the team after the Separation Transactions. Investments Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 ($ in millions) Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) $ (9.0 ) $ 2.8 Net investment income 41.0 20.4 Net investment return $ 32.0 $ 23.2 Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses) The net realized and unrealized investment losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $201.2 million of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 0.9%, the proceeds of which were reinvested at higher yields. Net Investment Income The increase in our net investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to the increase in investible assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we purchased $428.7 million of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.9%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, and therefore are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G. RPI Measure Renewal price index (RPI) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording. Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release (including the documents incorporated herein) contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make (including on our related conference call), "forward-looking statements" which include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and which may concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED) Operating net income: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax effect on these items. Return on average common equity (“ROAE”): represents net income divided by average common shareholders’ equity. Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. Operating net income per diluted share (“Operating EPS”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Group’s results in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Group’s underlying business performance. Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Operating return on opening common equity (“Operating ROE”): is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders’ equity.
