Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In certain instances when presenting PXRE’s results, management has included and discussed certain “non-GAAP” financial measures. For example, operating income excludes after-tax realized investment gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as other non-recurring items. These excluded items may be material in a period. Management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income provides useful information regarding PXRE’s results of operations consistent with industry practices which enables investors, security analysts and rating agencies to make performance comparisons with PXRE’s competitors. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable GAAP financial measures is included in PXRE’s press releases.
