DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS NOT PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP Operating income is a commonly used Non-GAAP financial measure of net income excluding realized capital gains and losses and related federal income taxes. Because our calculation may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing our measure of operating income to that of other companies. Management evaluates this measurement and ratios derived from this measurement because we believe it better represents the normal, ongoing performance of our businesses. 37 (GAAP, $ in thousands) 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 Net Income / (Loss) $ 76,140 $ 40,212 $ 11 $ 47,513 $ (10,441) $(13,064) $ 111,392 Realized Investment Gains / (Losses), after tax $ 5,652 $ 3,544 $ 4,186 $ 5,518 $ (8,566) $ (6,749) $ 6,286 Net Operating Income / (Loss) $ 70,488 $ 36,668 $ (4,175) $ 41,995 $ (1,875) $ (6,315) $ 105,107 Earnings / (Losses) Per Share, diluted $ 2.98 $ 1.58 $ - $ 1.80 $ (0.39) $ (0.48) $ 4.03 Operating earnings / (Loss) Per Share, diluted $ 2.76 $ 1.44 $ (0.16) $ 1.60 $ (0.07) $ (0.23) $ 3.80 Return on Equity 10.1% 5.6% 0.0% 6.8% (1.6%) (1.9%) 15.6% Note: Return on Equity is calculated as Net Income divided by YTD average stockholders' equity
