Non-GAAP
Financial Measures 27
In presenting the company's results, management has included and discussed in this
presentation certain non generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP")
financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which
may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company's results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete
understanding of the underlying trends in the company's business. However, these measures
should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
"Operating income" is an internal performance measure used in the management of the
companys operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as
applicable, net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in
earnings, net foreign exchange gain or loss and other non-recurring items. The
company excludes net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in
earnings, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other non-recurring items from the
calculation of operating income because these amounts are heavily influenced by and fluctuate in part according to the availability of market opportunities
and other factors. The company has excluded from operating income the termination fee received
from Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. in 2011 as this is a non-recurring item. In
addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating
agencies and other users of the companys financial information to more easily analyze
our results of operations and underlying business performance. Operating income should
not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.
The company has included "diluted book value per share" because it takes into account
the effect of dilutive securities; therefore, the company believes it is an important
measure of calculating shareholder returns. "Annualized net
income return on average shareholders' equity" ("ROAE") is calculated using average shareholders equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized
gains (or losses) on investments. Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are primarily the
result of interest rate and credit spread movements and the resultant impact on fixed
income securities. Such gains (losses) are not related to management actions or operational performance, nor are they likely to be realized. Therefore, the
company believes that excluding these unrealized gains (losses) provides a more consistent and
useful measurement of operating performance, which supplements U.S. GAAP information.
In calculating ROAE, the net income (loss) available to shareholders for the period is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in
order to arrive at annualized net income (loss) available to shareholders. The company
presents ROAE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by
investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.
"Annualized operating return on average shareholders' equity" is calculated using
operating income (as defined above and annualized in the manner described for net
income (loss) available to shareholders under ROAE above), and average shareholders' equity,
excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Unrealized
gains (losses) are excluded from equity for the reasons outlined in the annualized net income return on average shareholders' equity explanation above.
See slides 28 - 30 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation
to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. |
