Definitions and presentation:  All financial information contained herein is unaudited except for information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (except for the represented segmental analysis). Unless otherwise noted, all data is in U.S. dollars millions, except for per share, percentage and ratio information.
 
In presenting Aspen’s results, management has included and discussed certain “non-GAAP financial measures”, as such term is defined in Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain Aspen’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in Aspen’s business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included in this financial supplement.
 
Operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure):  Operating income is an internal performance measure used by Aspen in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized capital gains or losses and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses.
 
Aspen excludes after-tax net realized capital gains or losses and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses from its calculation of operating income because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. Aspen believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, Aspen believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Aspen’s results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes Aspen’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 25 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income.
 
Annualized Operating Return on Average Equity (“Operating ROE”) (a non-GAAP financial measure): Annualized Operating Return on Average Equity 1) is calculated using operating income, as defined above and 2) excludes from average equity, the average after-tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and the average after-tax unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses and the aggregate value of the liquidation preferences of our preference shares. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily the result of interest rate movements and changes in credit spreads, and the resultant impact on fixed income securities, and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign exchange is the result of exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the Group’s non-functional currencies. Such appreciation (depreciation) is not related to management actions or operational performance (nor is it likely to be realized). Therefore, Aspen believes that excluding these unrealized appreciations (depreciations) provides a more consistent and useful measurement of operating performance, which supplements GAAP information. Average equity is calculated as the arithmetic average on a monthly basis for the stated periods.
 
Aspen presents Operating ROE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information. See page 25 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income and page 7 for a reconciliation of average equity to closing shareholders’ equity.
 
Diluted Operating Earnings Per Share and Basic Operating Earnings Per Share (a non-GAAP financial measure): Aspen believes that the presentation of diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share supports meaningful comparison from period to period and the analysis of normal business operations. Diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share is calculated by dividing operating income by the diluted or basic weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. See page 25 for a reconciliation of diluted and basic operating earnings per share to basic earnings per share.
 
Diluted book value per ordinary share (a non-GAAP financial measure): Aspen has included diluted book value per ordinary share as it takes into account the effect of dilutive securities; therefore, Aspen believes it is a better measure of calculating shareholder returns than book value per share. Please see page 23 for a reconciliation of diluted book value per share to basic book value per share.
 
Underwriting ratios (GAAP financial measures):  Aspen, along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of net claims and claims adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (commissions, premium taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwriting expenses) to net premiums earned. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned or written, the cost of losses and expenses, respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of earned premium. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstrates underwriting loss.
 
GAAP combined ratios differ from U.S. statutory combined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third-party acquisition expenses for GAAP reporting purposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisition expense and the general and administrative expense ratios.
 
Accident Year Loss Ratios (a non-GAAP financial measure): In addition to the underwriting ratios described above, management also uses accident year loss ratios to evaluate current underwriting performance. The accident year loss ratio excludes the effect of prior years’ premium adjustments and reserve developments. This ratio focuses on the relationship between current premiums earned and losses incurred related to the current year. Please see page 13 for a reconciliation of accident year loss ratios to underwriting ratios calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As a result of a shift in the Company’s operating structure and the implementation of a number of strategic initiatives in 2010, the Company changed the composition of its business segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed. The Company is currently organized into two underwriting segments: insurance and reinsurance, with an additional segment for corporate and other. These segments form the basis of how the Company monitors the performance of its operations.
 
* Structured business was previously allocated to Property Reinsurance, Casualty Reinsurance and International Insurance on an individual contract basis. In the new basis, all structured business will be included in Specialty Reinsurance within the reinsurance segment.
