| (1) | A premium deficiency shall be recognized if the sum of expected loss and loss adjustment expenses and unamortized acquisition costs exceeds related unearned premium after consideration of investment income. Any future expected loss on the related unearned premium is recorded first by impairing the unamortized acquisition costs on the related unearned premium followed by an increase to loss and loss adjustment expense reserves on additional expected loss in excess of unamortized acquisition costs. Excluding the premium deficiency charge noted below the combined ratio would have been 148.9 points for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 132.0 points for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. |
For the three months ended December 31st, the calendar year loss ratio increased by 71.7 points to 108.4 points in 2011 from 36.7 points in 2010.
| • | Excluding catastrophes, the current accident year loss ratio increased by 18.4 points to 82.9 points in 2011 from 64.5 points in 2010. The current accident year loss ratio includes 1.7 points due to premium deficiency charges. |
| • | Excluding catastrophes, the property loss ratio decreased from 44.4 points in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 32.5 points in the fourth quarter of 2011. Including catastrophes, the property loss ratio increased by 4.4 points to 50.8 points in 2011 from 46.4 points in 2010. |
| • | The casualty loss ratio increased 47.4 points to 125.0 points in 2011 from 77.6 points in 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to increased losses in our general liability lines. The casualty loss ratio also includes $1.1 million, or 3.1 points, due to a premium deficiency charge. |
| • | Current year results include a 17.2 point increase in the loss ratio related to prior accident years. For 2011 we increased prior accident year reserves by $11.5 million. This increase was made up of a $9.0 million increase from our U.S. Insurance Operations primarily due to increases in the general liability and professional loss reserves, as well as, an increase of $2.5 million from our Reinsurance Operations primarily due to increases in the general liability loss reserves. |
For the three months ended December 31st, the expense ratio increased from 42.8 points in 2010 to 43.2 points in 2011.
| • | The increase in the expense ratio was primarily due to the decrease in earned premiums at our Reinsurance Operations. |
| • | Corporate expenses also decreased $2.9 million on a quarter over quarter basis due to cost savings from our previously disclosed Profit Enhancement Initiative. |
3
For the twelve months ended December 31st, the calendar year loss ratio increased by 48.1 points to 93.5 points in 2011 from 45.4 points in 2010.
| • | Excluding catastrophes, the current accident year loss ratio increased by 16.9 points to 75.8 points in 2011 from 58.9 points in 2010. The current accident year loss ratio includes 1.4 points due to premium deficiency charges. |
| • | Excluding catastrophes, the property loss ratio increased from 39.7 points in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 43.7 points in the fourth quarter of 2011 mainly due to severity from fire losses and severe weather. Including catastrophes, the property loss ratio increased by 27.8 points to 81.7 points in 2011 from 53.9 points in 2010. |
| • | The casualty loss ratio increased 29.9 points to 100.8 points in 2011 from 70.9 points in 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to increased losses in our general liability lines. The casualty loss ratio also includes $4.1 million, or 2.4 points, due to a premium deficiency charge. |
| • | Current year results include a 1.1 point increase in the loss ratio related to prior accident years. This increase was made up of an increase of $13.1 million from our Reinsurance Operations primarily due to increases in the general liability and auto liability loss reserves and a decrease of $9.7 million from our U.S. Insurance Operations primarily due to decreases in casualty loss reserves from accident years prior to 2009. |
For the twelve months ended December 31st, the expense ratio increased from 41.2 points in 2010 to 41.5 points in 2011.
| • | The increase in the expense ratio is mainly attributable to a premium deficiency charge of $4.8 million, or 1.6 points, and an increase in average commission rates due to changes in our mix of business. |
| • | The increase in the expense ratio was offset by lower employee costs from our previously disclosed Profit Enhancement Initiative, a decrease in share-based compensation related to the forfeiture of unvested restricted shares and options and a decrease in contingent commissions related to increases in loss ratios described above. |
| • | Corporate expenses also decreased $7.6 million. The decrease is mainly due to completing the redomestication to Ireland and cost savings from the Profit Enhancement Initiative. |

Insurance Operations: For the three months ended December 31, 2011, gross premiums written decreased 26.1%, and net premiums written decreased 18.7%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross premiums written is mainly due to terminated programs as well as termination of certain general liability products, partially offset by increases in commercial property lines. The decrease in net premiums written was primarily due to the decrease in gross premiums written, offset partially by the cancellation of a property quota share reinsurance treaty effective January 1, 2011 and an increase in retention related to the property excess of loss treaty which renewed January 1, 2011.
Reinsurance Operations: For the three months ended December 31, 2011, gross premiums written decreased 53.1%, and net premiums written decreased 56.8% compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross and net premiums written is due to the sale of a company that elected to not renew its treaty with Wind River post-acquisition and non-renewals of treaties that did not meet our return hurdles.

Insurance Operations: For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, gross premiums written decreased 6.7%, and net premiums written increased 3.2%, compared to the same period in 2010.

Note Regarding Operating Income
Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to net income excluding after-tax net realized investment gains (losses). Operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should not place undue reliance on this measure.
