SiriusPoint Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. Organization
SiriusPoint Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “SiriusPoint” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011. Through its subsidiaries, the Company is a provider of global multi-line reinsurance and insurance products and services.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In addition, the year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. It does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.
Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in millions, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.
2. Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its 2023 Form 10-K.
Recently issued accounting standards

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendment clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. ASU 2022-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were either not relevant to the Company or did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
3. Significant transactions
CM Bermuda Settlement and Share Repurchase
On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), and concurrently therewith, a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement” and, together with the Settlement Agreement, collectively, the “CMIG Agreement”), in each case, with CM Bermuda Limited (the “Seller”) and CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd.
The Company paid the Seller a total consideration of $261.3 million upon the closing of the transactions under the CMIG Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the Seller for full satisfaction and discharge of all obligations and all other claims of any nature related to the Company’s Series A Preference Shares held by the Seller and the related Certificate of Designation of Series A Preference Shares of the Company, and recorded a loss of $90.7 million in Loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments in the Company’s consolidated income statement. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 9,077,705 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares held by the Seller for $125.0 million, which had a repurchase date fair value of $129.7 million. The repurchased shares were cancelled and retired.
Workers’ Compensation Loss Portfolio Transfer
On April 30, 2024, SiriusPoint America Insurance Company (“SiriusPoint America”), a subsidiary of SiriusPoint Ltd., entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”), dated as of April 30, 2024, made by and between SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon National”), an insurer domiciled in Texas and an affiliate of Enstar Group Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Enstar”).
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, among other documents, (a) SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National will enter into a Loss Portfolio Transfer Reinsurance Agreement (the “LPT Agreement”), pursuant to which SiriusPoint America will cede and Clarendon National will assume 100% of the net liability with respect to certain workers’ compensation insurance exposures of SiriusPoint America (the “Subject Business”) on a funds withheld basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the LPT Agreement including an aggregate limit; (b) SiriusPoint America and an affiliate of Clarendon National (the “Administrator”) will enter into an Administrative Services Agreement concerning the Administrator’s authority and responsibility for certain administrative services related to the Subject Business, including claims handling; and (c) Enstar shall issue a Parental Guarantee in favor of SiriusPoint America guaranteeing Clarendon National’s obligations under the LPT Agreement. In certain circumstances and in lieu of the guarantee obligations provided thereunder, Clarendon National may post letters of credit as collateral securing Clarendon National’s reinsurance obligations with respect to the Subject Business. Immediately prior to the effective date of the LPT Agreement, SiriusPoint will be commuting certain ceded workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts, and the liabilities related to those commuted contracts will be included in the Subject Business.
This transaction covers approximately $400 million of SiriusPoint reserves, including liabilities to be commuted, valued as of December 31, 2023 and the reinsurance premium. The aggregate limit under the LPT Agreement is 150% of the premium paid less certain adjustments for paid losses in the interim period prior to the effective date of the contract. The Master Agreement and the LPT Agreement include customary representations and warranties, indemnification obligations, covenants and termination rights of the parties.
The Company received the appropriate regulatory approvals and the transaction closed on October 1, 2024. The financial impacts of the transaction will be included in the Company’s fourth quarter results, and SiriusPoint America expects to recognize a loss of approximately $22.0 million.
SiriusPoint International Loss Portfolio Transfer
On March 2, 2023, the Company agreed, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, to enter into a loss portfolio transfer transaction (“2023 LPT”), on a funds withheld basis, with Pallas Reinsurance Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the Compre Group, an insurance and reinsurance legacy specialist. The transaction covered loss reserves ceded initially estimated at $1.3 billion as of the valuation date of September 30, 2022, which were reduced to $905.6 million as of June 30, 2023 at closing, as a result of paid losses and favorable prior accident year reserve development recognized during the interim period, and included in Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded funds held payable of $593.4 million in Reinsurance balances payable and reinsurance recoverable of $626.5 million, and the Company’s estimate of deferred gain is $21.7 million. The
2023 LPT comprises several classes of business from 2021 and prior underwriting years. The aggregate limit under the 2023 LPT is 130% of roll forward reserves at the inception of the contract.
4. Segment reporting
The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of its operations. The Company reports two operating segments: Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. The Company’s segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO assesses segment operating performance, allocates capital, and makes resource allocation decisions based on Segment income (loss). The Company does not manage its assets by segment; accordingly, total assets are not allocated to the segments.
Reinsurance
In the Reinsurance segment, the Company provides reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, the Company participates in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. The Company primarily writes treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provides facultative reinsurance in some of its business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, the Company’s core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America, while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe.
The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.
Casualty – the Company provides reinsurance to casualty insurers who underwrite a diverse range of casualty classes. The Company works with clients all over the world, including multi-national, nationwide and regional carriers, as well as risk retention groups and captives. The Company also partners with managing general agents (“MGAs”) and sponsor cover holders. The Company’s underwriting focus is on proportional transactions covering all major commercial casualty lines, as well professional liability with an emphasis on specialty niche classes of business, including personal lines.
Property – the Company works with leading global brokers as well as large national writers and regional companies. Underwriting is focused on providing critical catastrophe protection and worldwide coverage for natural perils, underwriting residential, commercial, and industrial risks in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company’s property reinsurance offering includes: property catastrophe protection, risk excess of loss, cannabis - pro rata, building risk and structured property specifically in the United States. In 2023, as part of its international reorganization, the Company significantly reduced its international property catastrophe premiums written, with reinsurance protection purchased at similar costs but with lower attachment points to further protect the balance sheet.
Specialty - the Company’s business encompasses a broad range of worldwide reinsurance coverages, including proportional and excess of loss, treaty and facultative. Specialty business lines in the Reinsurance segment include Aviation & Space, Marine & Energy and Credit.
Insurance & Services
Through the Insurance & Services segment, the Company underwrites primary insurance in a number of sectors. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Casualty, and Specialty.
Accident and Health (“A&H”) – the Company provides flexible insurance products to meet the risk management needs of diverse populations in select markets. This includes employer groups, associations, affinity groups, higher education and other niche markets. The Company also owns 100% of International Medical Group, Inc. (“IMG”) and ArmadaCorp Capital, LLC (“Armada”), who receive fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. IMG offers a full line of international medical insurance products, trip cancellation programs, medical management services and 24/7 emergency medical and travel assistance. Armada operates as a supplemental medical insurance MGA.
Property & Casualty - the Company is a leading carrier for program administrators and MGAs. The majority of its insurance business is written through partners in the property and casualty space, covering professional liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto lines in Bermuda, London, Europe, North America and round the world.
Specialty - the Company’s business encompasses a broad range of worldwide insurance coverages. Specialty business lines in the Insurance & Services segment include Aviation & Space, Marine & Energy, Credit and Mortgage.
Management uses segment income (loss) as the primary basis for assessing segment performance. Segment income (loss) is comprised of two components, underwriting income (loss) and net services income (loss). The Company calculates underwriting income (loss) by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned. Net services income (loss) consists of services revenues (fee for service revenue), services expenses, and services non-controlling (income) loss. This definition of segment income (loss) aligns with how business performance is managed and monitored. We continue to evaluate our segments as our business evolves and may further refine our segments and segment income (loss) measures. Certain items are presented in a different manner for segment reporting purposes than in the consolidated statements of income. These items are reconciled to the consolidated presentation in the segment measure reclass column below. Included in Insurance & Services segment income (loss) are services noncontrolling loss (income) attributable to minority shareholders on non-wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, services revenues and services expenses are reconciled to other revenues and net corporate and other expenses, respectively.
Segment results are shown prior to corporate eliminations. Corporate eliminations are included in the elimination column below as necessary to reconcile to underwriting income (loss), net services income (loss), and segment income (loss) to the consolidated statements of income.
Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which the Company no longer writes. In addition, revenue and expenses managed at the corporate level, including realized gains (losses), other investment income, including gains (losses) from strategic investments, net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from related party investment funds, non services-related other revenues, non services-related net corporate and other expenses, intangible asset amortization, interest expense, foreign exchange (gains) losses and income tax (expense) benefit are reported within Corporate. The CEO does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these items and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income (loss).
The following is a summary of the Company’s operating segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

5. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments
The following table provides a summary of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 640.7 | | | $ | 969.2 | |
Restricted cash securing letter of credit facilities (1) | 27.7 | | | 56.9 | |
Restricted cash securing reinsurance contracts (2) | 124.1 | | | 52.7 | |
Restricted cash held by managing general underwriters | 22.7 | | | 22.5 | |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (3) | 815.2 | | | 1,101.3 | |

Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments | $ | 3,122.6 | | | $ | 3,769.3 | |
(1)Restricted cash and restricted investments securing letter of credit facilities primarily pertains to letters of credit that have been issued to the Company’s clients in support of its obligations under reinsurance contracts. The Company will not be released from the obligation to provide these letters of credit until the reserves underlying the reinsurance contracts have been settled. The time period for which the Company expects each letter of credit to be in place varies from contract to contract but can last several years.
(2)Restricted cash and restricted investments securing reinsurance contracts pertain to trust accounts securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled. Restricted investments include certain investments in debt securities, short-term investments and limited partnership interests in Third Point Enhanced LP. The time period for which the Company expects these trust accounts to be in place varies from contract to contract but can last several years.
(3)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
(4)Restricted investments include required deposits with certain insurance state regulatory agencies in order to maintain insurance licenses.
6. Fair value measurements
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
•Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
•Level 3 – Inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the investment, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
The following tables present the Company’s investments, categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Valuation techniques
The Company uses independent pricing services to assist in determining fair values for its investments. For investments in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services to determine fair value. In circumstances where quoted market prices are unavailable or are not considered reasonable, the Company estimates the fair value using industry standard pricing models and observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, prepayment speeds, reference data including research publications, and other relevant inputs. Given that many debt securities do not trade on a daily basis, the independent pricing services evaluate a wide range of fixed maturity investments by regularly drawing parallels from recent trades and quotes of comparable securities with similar features. The characteristics used to identify comparable debt securities vary by asset type and take into account market convention.
The techniques and inputs specific to asset classes within the Company’s debt securities and short-term investments for Level 2 securities that use observable inputs are as follows:
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities
The fair value of mortgage and asset-backed securities is primarily priced by independent pricing services using a pricing
model that uses information from market sources and leveraging similar securities. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, underlying tranche cash flow data, collateral performance, plus new issue data, as well as broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including issuer, vintage, loan type, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds, default rates, recovery rates, cash flow stress testing, credit quality ratings and market research publications.
Corporate debt securities
Corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate issuers and industries. The corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by independent pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the independent pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The independent pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk.
U.S. government and government agency
U.S. government and government agency securities consist primarily of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. Fixed maturity investments included in U.S. government and government agency securities are primarily priced by independent pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the independent pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.
Non-U.S. government and government agency
Non-U.S. government and government agency securities consist of debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies along with supranational organizations (also known as sovereign debt securities). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by independent pricing services who employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The independent pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the independent pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
U.S. states, municipalities, and political subdivisions
The U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions portfolio contains debt securities issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipal entities. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services using the techniques for U.S. government and government agency securities.
Preferred stocks
The fair value of preferred stocks is generally priced by independent pricing services using an evaluated pricing model that calculates the appropriate spread over a comparable security for each issue. Key inputs include exchange prices (underlying and common stock of same issuer), benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including sector, coupon, credit quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, early redemption features and market research publications.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills, certificates of deposit and other securities, which, at the time of purchase, mature within a period of greater than three months but less than one year. These investments are generally priced
by independent pricing services using the techniques described for U.S. government and government agency securities and Corporate debt securities described above.
Investments measured using Net Asset Value
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships, including its investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. The Company has elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on the Company’s share of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.
The fair value of the Company's investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of the Company's proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual partnership capital statements primarily with a one or three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available to the Company with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the NAVs, the Company performs a number of monitoring procedures on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, to assess the quality of the information provided by the investment manager and fund administrator underlying the preparation of the NAV. These procedures include, but are not limited to, regular review and discussion of the fund’s performance with the investment manager.
These investments are included in investment in funds valued at NAV and excluded from the presentation of investments categorized by the level of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 3 Investments
Level 3 valuations are generated from techniques that use assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's assumptions, that market participants would use in valuing the investment. Generally, certain securities may start out as Level 3 when they are originally issued but as observable inputs become available in the market, they may be reclassified to Level 2.
The Company employs a number of procedures to assess the reasonableness of the fair value measurements for its other long-term investments, including obtaining and reviewing the audited annual financial statements of hedge funds and private equity funds and periodically discussing each fund's pricing with the fund manager. However, since the fund managers do not provide sufficient information to evaluate the pricing inputs and methods for each underlying investment, the inputs are considered to be unobservable.
The fair values of the Company's investments in private equity securities, private debt instruments, certain private equity funds, and certain hedge funds have been classified as Level 3 measurements. Private equity securities and private debt instruments are initially valued based on transaction price and their valuation is subsequently estimated based on available evidence such as a market transaction in similar instruments and other financial information for the issuer.
For strategic investments carried at fair value, management either engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determination of the fair value based on commonly accepted valuation methods (i.e., income approach, market approach) as of the valuation date or performs valuation internally. In addition, investors fair value analyses prepared by third party valuation specialists working with strategic investment operating management are referenced where available. Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our strategic investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.
See Note 9 for additional information on the fair values of derivative financial instruments used for both risk management
and investment purposes.
Underwriting-related derivatives
Underwriting-related derivatives include reinsurance contracts that are accounted for as derivatives. These derivative contracts are initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these derivatives are determined using internally developed discounted cash flow models. As the significant inputs used to price these derivatives are unobservable, the fair values of these contracts are classified as Level 3.
The following tables present the reconciliation of all investments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

7. Investments
The Company’s invested assets consist of investment securities and other long-term investments held for general investment purposes. The portfolio of investment securities includes debt securities available for sale, debt securities held for trading, short-term investments, and other long-term investments which are classified as trading securities with the exception of debt securities held as available for sale. Realized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported in pre-tax revenues. Unrealized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported based on classification. Trading securities flow
through pre-tax revenues, whereas securities classified as available for sale (“AFS”) flow through other comprehensive income.
For debt securities classified as AFS for which a decline in the fair value between the amortized cost is due to credit-related factors, an allowance is established for the difference between the estimated recoverable value and amortized cost with a corresponding impact to the consolidated statements of income. The allowance is limited to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. A credit loss impairment assessment is performed on securities using both quantitative and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors include significant declines in fair value below amortized cost. Additionally, a qualitative assessment is also performed over debt securities to evaluate potential credit losses. Examples of qualitative indicators include issuer credit downgrades as well as changes to credit spreads.
Declines in fair value related to a debt security that do not relate to a credit loss are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

9. Derivatives
The Company holds derivatives for both risk management and investment purposes.
Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives
The Company executes foreign currency forwards, swaps, and futures to manage foreign currency exposure. The foreign currency exchange rate derivatives are not designated or accounted for under hedge accounting. The fair value of the swaps and forwards are estimated using a single broker quote, and accordingly, are classified as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the futures is widely available and have quoted prices in active markets, and accordingly, were classified as a Level 1 measurement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company pledged no securities collateral associated with the foreign currency derivatives (December 31, 2023 - $42.2 million). These securities are included in debt securities, available for sale, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Weather derivatives
The Company holds assets and assumes liabilities related to weather and weather contingent risk management products. Weather and weather contingent derivative contracts are entered into with the objective of generating profits in normal climatic conditions. Accordingly, the Company’s weather and weather contingent derivatives are not designed to meet the criteria for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. The Company receives payment of premium at the contract inception in exchange for bearing the risk of variations in a quantifiable weather index. Management uses available market data and internal pricing models based upon consistent statistical methodologies to estimate the fair value. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company's weather risk contracts, the fair value measurements of the contracts are deemed to be Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024. The Company does not provide or hold any collateral associated with the weather derivatives.
Credit default swap
Credit default swaps protect the buyer against the loss of principal on one or more underlying bonds, loans, or mortgages in the event the issuer suffers a credit event. The Company provides its client with protection against financial non-performance of a subsidiary. The fair value of the swap is estimated using a single broker quote, and accordingly, is classified as a Level 3 measurement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has no pledges in securities collateral associated with the credit default swap (December 31, 2023 - $22.3 million). These securities are included in debt securities, available for sale, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes information on the classification and amount of the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments within the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

10. Variable and voting interest entities
The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity ("VOE") in which it has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VOE or VIE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.
Consolidated variable interest entities
Alstead Re
Alstead Reinsurance Ltd. (“Alstead Re”) is considered a VIE and the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Alstead Re because the Company can exercise control over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Alstead Re. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alstead Re in its consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, Alstead Re’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $7.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2023 - $14.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively).
Arcadian
Prior to June 30, 2024, Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”) was considered a VIE and the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of Arcadian because the Company could exercise control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Arcadian. As a result, the Company consolidated the results of Arcadian in its consolidated financial statements.
Effective June 30, 2024, the Company deconsolidated Arcadian when the Company’s management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’ agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in the Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated and removed the carrying value
of Arcadian's assets of $177.4 million and liabilities of $143.2 million and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest of $17.5 million attributed to Arcadian from its consolidated balance sheet on June 30, 2024. A gain of $95.9 million was recognized by the Company as a result of deconsolidation, which was recorded in Other revenues in the Company’s consolidated income statement in the second quarter of 2024. On June 30, 2024, the Company accounted for its retained equity investment in Arcadian under the equity method of accounting and recorded its noncontrolling interest in Arcadian at an estimated fair value of approximately $115.0 million, which was determined by an independent valuation specialist, in Other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded its share of net income in Other revenues in its consolidated income statement. The Company’s ownership in Arcadian remained 49% as of September 30, 2024.
Banyan
In January 2023, Banyan Risk Ltd. (“Banyan”) completed a recapitalization in which the Company’s ownership decreased from 100% to 49%. After the recapitalization, Banyan was considered a VIE and the Company was its primary beneficiary as it could exercise control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of Banyan. The Company consolidated the results of Banyan in its consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2023. In October 2023, the Company sold the remainder of its ownership to Banyan and deconsolidated upon sale effective October 1, 2023.
Consolidated voting interest entities
Alta Signa
Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) is considered a VOE and the Company holds a majority of the voting interests through its seats on Alta Signa’s board of directors. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alta Signa in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ownership in Alta Signa as of September 30, 2024 was 75.1%. As of September 30, 2024, Alta Signa’s assets and liabilities, before intercompany eliminations, included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively (December 31, 2023 - $2.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively).
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in consolidated subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of noncontrolling interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Company is a passive investor in certain third-party-managed hedge and private equity funds, some of which are VIEs. The Company is not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor does it actively participate in the management of the VIEs. The exposure to loss from these investments is limited to the carrying value of the investments at the balance sheet date.
The Company calculates maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where the Company has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. The Company does not have any VIEs that it sponsors nor any VIEs where it has recourse to it or has provided a guarantee to the VIE interest holders.
The following table presents total assets of unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, as well as the maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Third Point Enhanced LP
As of September 30, 2024, the Company and TP GP hold interests of approximately 89.2% and 10.8%, respectively, of the net asset value of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, both entities hold significant financial interests in TP Enhanced Fund. However, TP GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of TP Enhanced Fund. As a result, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate TP Enhanced Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investments in the TP Enhanced Fund. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in the TP Enhanced Fund.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund I LP
TP Venture GP controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investment in the TP Venture Fund. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in the TP Venture Fund.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund II LP
TP Venture GP II controls all of the investment decision-making authority of the TP Venture Fund II. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the economic performance of the TP Venture Fund II. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss corresponds to the value of its investment in TP Venture Fund II. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s investment in TP Venture Fund II.

(1)Net reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses transferred represents the transfer of reserves under the 2023 LPT
(2)Deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance are recorded in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance are presented as a separate line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's prior year reserve development arises from changes to estimates of losses and loss adjustment expenses related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $70.6 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development primarily resulting from favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H and the runoff business due to lower than expected reported attritional losses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $163.1 million of favorable net prior year loss reserve development primarily resulting from management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through September 30, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, which represents $122.2 million of the favorable loss reserve development.
12. Allowance for expected credit losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of its insurance and reinsurance products and services. The financial assets in scope of the current expected credit losses impairment model primarily include the Company’s insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable. The Company pools these amounts by counterparty credit rating and applies a credit default rate that is determined based on the studies published by the rating agencies (e.g., AM Best, Standard & Poor's (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings, Demotech). In circumstances where ratings are unavailable, the Company applies an internally developed default rate based on historical experience, reference data including research publications, and other relevant inputs.
The Company's assets in scope of the current expected credit loss assessment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Insurance and reinsurance balances receivable, net | $ | 2,069.1 | | | $ | 1,966.3 | |
Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, net | 2,198.7 | | | 2,295.1 | |
Other assets (1) | 104.2 | | | 76.8 | |
Total assets in scope | $ | 4,372.0 | | | $ | 4,338.2 | |
| | | |
| | | |
(1)Relates to MGA trade receivables (included in Other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets), loans receivables (included in Other long-term investments in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets) and interest and dividend receivables.
The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was $28.4 million as of September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $28.8 million). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded current expected credit gains of $nil and $0.4 million, respectively (2023 - none and none, respectively). Changes to the current expected credit losses are included in net corporate and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings and macroeconomic conditions, and considers the most current ratings from credit rating agencies to determine the allowance each quarter. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 66% of the total gross assets in scope were balances with counterparties rated by major credit rating agencies and, of the total rated, 84% were rated A- or better.

In April 2024, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 5 and October 5 of each year, commencing on October 5, 2024. The 2024 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 5, 2024, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2024 Senior Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255917), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 7, 2021, and a prospectus supplement related to the 2024 Senior Notes dated March 27, 2024 (filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933).
In April 2024, the Company amended its 4.6% 2016 Senior Notes pursuant to a Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and following such amendments the Company completed the redemption of all remaining outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2016 Senior Notes. The Company also redeemed all $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2015 Senior Notes in April 2024. The Company used certain of the proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes, together with available cash, to fund the purchase of validly tendered 2016 Senior Notes and the redemptions of the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2015 Senior Notes.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Standby letter of credit facilities
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had entered into the following letter of credit facilities:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| Letters of Credit | | Collateral |
| Committed Capacity | | Issued | | Cash and Cash Equivalents | | Debt securities |
| | | | | | | |
Committed - Secured letters of credit facilities | $ | 355.0 | | | $ | 271.2 | | | $ | 14.6 | | | $ | 238.5 | |
Uncommitted - Secured letters of credit facilities | n/a | | 934.3 | | | 13.1 | | | 1,103.4 | |
| | | $ | 1,205.5 | | | $ | 27.7 | | | $ | 1,341.9 | |
The Company’s secured letter of credit facilities are bilateral agreements that generally renew on an annual basis. The letters of credit issued under the secured letter of credit facilities are fully collateralized. The above referenced facilities are subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that the Company considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. See Note 5 for additional information.
Interest expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 total interest expense includes $12.4 million and $36.2 million, respectively, associated with debt obligations (2023 - $11.3 million and $33.3 million, respectively) and $5.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, of funds withheld interest from the 2023 LPT (2023 - $8.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively), as well as income associated with reinsurance contracts and a gain on the commutation of a deposit accounted contract. See Note 3 “Significant transactions” for further discussion on the 2023 LPT.
Revolving credit facility
In addition to the letter of credit facilities above, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, effective February 26, 2021, which was renewed in February 2024 for one year. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent. As of September 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility.
14. Income taxes
The Company provides income tax expense or benefit based upon pre-tax income or loss reported in the consolidated statements of income and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to income taxes imposed by the government of Bermuda. Starting in 2025, a 15% corporate income tax is expected to apply to the Company’s Bermuda operations as a result of the enactment of the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the “Bermuda CIT”). The Bermuda CIT legislation includes specific provisions intended to administer a fair and equitable transition into the new tax system, referred to as the economic transition adjustment (“ETA”) and opening tax loss carryforward (“OTLC”). The Company expects that SiriusPoint Ltd. and at least one of its major subsidiaries organized and operating in Bermuda will be subject to these provisions. The Company expects its in-scope entities will incur increased tax expense in Bermuda beginning in 2025.
The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which the Company's subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong (China), Luxembourg, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million and $26.3 million, respectively (2023 - $15.3 million and $56.6 million, respectively) on pre-tax income of $11.1 million and $245.7 million, respectively (2023 - $79.1 million and $320.6 million, respectively). The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 21.6% and 10.7%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates on income from continuing operations and the Bermuda statutory tax rate of 0.0% is primarily because of income recognized in jurisdictions with higher tax rates than Bermuda, and adjustments pursuant to applicable U.S. GAAP guidance on interim period financial reporting of taxes, which are based on the annual estimated effective tax rate.
In arriving at the estimated annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company took into consideration all year-to-date income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) and such items on a forecasted basis for the remainder of each year.
In December 2021, the OECD published two global anti-base erosion model rules under Pillar Two (the “GloBE Rules”), which implement a 15% global minimum tax applicable for multinational groups. The first GloBE Rule is the income inclusion rule (“IIR”), which imposes “top-up” tax on a parent entity in respect of the income of a subsidiary that is taxed at less than 15%. The second GloBE Rule is the “undertaxed payments” rule, which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the income of an affiliate is taxed at less than 15%. On January 1, 2024, the GloBE Rules went into effect in the EU, including a minimum top-up tax rate of 15% for multinational companies, with many EU member states enacting corollary legislation as part of their respective domestic tax laws. The Company will continue to monitor how the relevant countries have enacted Pillar Two. Pillar Two is not expected to have a material impact to the current year financial statements.
Uncertain tax positions
Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is $2.3 million as of September 30, 2024, which did not materially change compared to December 31, 2023. If the Company determines in the future that its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits on permanent differences and interest and penalties are not needed, the reversal of $1.6 million of such reserves as of September 30, 2024 would be recorded as an income tax benefit and would impact the effective tax rate. The remaining balance is accrued interest and penalties.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices and at times the Company deems appropriate in its sole discretion, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The share repurchases may be effected through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades and accelerated share repurchase programs, including in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any combination of such methods.

The Company issued 11,720,987 Series A Preference Shares. The Series A Preference Shares rank pari passu with the Company’s common shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions. Each Series A Preference Share has voting power equal to the number of Company shares into which it is convertible, and the Series A Preference Shares and Company shares shall vote together as a single class with respect to any and all matters. On the third anniversary of the closing date of the Sirius Group acquisition, the Series A Preference Shares were subject to a conversion ratio calculation, based on ultimate COVID-19 losses along with other measurement criteria, to convert into the Company’s common shares.
Pursuant to the CMIG Agreement, the Company settled all Series A Preference Shares held by CM Bermuda Ltd. during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Litigation
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution processes, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the Company’s reinsurance and insurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owed to it. In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. The Company may also be involved, from time to time in the normal course of business, in formal and informal dispute resolution processes that do not arise from, or are not directly related to, claims activity. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, business or operations.
Leases
The Company operates in Bermuda, the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, and leases office space under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements.

Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:
•our ability to execute on our strategic transformation, including re-underwriting to reduce volatility and improving underwriting performance, de-risking our investment portfolio, and transforming our business;
•the impact of unpredictable catastrophic events such as uncertainties with respect to COVID-19 losses across many classes of insurance business and the amount of insurance losses that may ultimately be ceded to the reinsurance market, supply chain issues, labor shortages and related increased costs, changing interest rates and equity market volatility;
•inadequacy of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, the lack of available capital, and periods characterized by excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates;
•the performance of financial markets, impact of inflation and interest rates, and foreign currency fluctuations;
•our ability to compete successfully in the insurance and reinsurance market and the effect of consolidation in the insurance and reinsurance industry;
•technology breaches or failures, including those resulting from a malicious cyber-attack on us, our business partners or service providers;
•the effects of global climate change, including increased severity and frequency of weather-related natural disasters and catastrophes and increased coastal flooding in many geographic areas;
•geopolitical uncertainty, including the impact of the U.S. November 2024 presidential and congressional elections, and ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East;
•our ability to retain key senior management and key employees;
•a downgrade or withdrawal of our financial ratings;
•fluctuations in our results of operations;
•legal restrictions on certain of SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and other distributions to SiriusPoint;
•the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings and regulatory constraints on our business;
•reduced returns or losses in SiriusPoint’s investment portfolio;
•our exposure or potential exposure to corporate income tax in Bermuda and the EU, U.S. federal income and withholding taxes and our significant deferred tax assets, which could become devalued if we do not generate future taxable income or applicable corporate tax rates are reduced;
•risks associated with delegating authority to third party managing general agents, managing general underwriters and/or program administrators (“MGAs”);
•future strategic transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions, investments, mergers or joint ventures;
•the Company’s response to any acquisition proposal that may be received from any party, including any actions that may be considered by the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof; and
•other risks and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K and other subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our financial condition or future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this report ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not place undue reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview
We are a global underwriter of insurance and reinsurance, domiciled in Bermuda. We have licenses to write property, casualty and accident & health insurance and reinsurance globally, including admitted & non-admitted licensed companies in the United States, a Bermuda Class 4 company, a Lloyd’s of London (“Lloyd’s”) syndicate and managing agency, and an internationally licensed company domiciled in Sweden. Our operating companies have a financial strength rating of A- (Stable) from AM Best, Standard & Poor's (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) and A3 (Stable) from Moody’s Ratings (“Moody’s”).
We are an underwriting first company as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. Distribution relationships are important to us, as we generate premiums from various sources, including our consolidated MGAs and non-consolidated MGAs. We seek to apply our underwriting talent, capabilities and proven management expertise to underwrite a profitable book of business and identify new opportunities to create value. Our approach is to be nimble and reactive to market opportunities within our segments of Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, allocating capital where we see profitable opportunity, while remaining disciplined and consistent within our specified risk tolerances and areas of expertise. Our MGA strategy is to partner with high integrity and transparent leaders and teams with deep underwriting expertise and a track record of success. Our partnerships are structured to incentivize all parties to deliver thereby allowing capable teams to do what they do best, while providing complementary services. As of September 30, 2024, we had equity stakes in 22 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other) which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business.
Products and Services
Reinsurance Segment
In our Reinsurance segment, we provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, we participate in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. We primarily write treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provide facultative reinsurance in some of our business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, our core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America, while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe.
The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.
Insurance & Services Segment
In our Insurance & Services segment, we predominantly provide insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. Insurance & Services revenue allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in Accident & Health (“A&H”), Property & Casualty, and Specialty.
Investment Management
We continue to reposition our investment portfolio to better align with our underwriting strategy. The increase in interest rates provided an opportunity to rotate the portfolio and capture yield. The repositioning lowers our volatility, while taking
advantage of opportunities to improve risk-adjusted returns across asset classes.
Our investment objective is to optimize risk-adjusted after-tax net investment income while (1) maintaining a high quality, diversified investment portfolio, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.
Recent Developments
CM Bermuda Settlement and Share Repurchase
On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), and concurrently therewith, a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement” and, together with the Settlement Agreement, collectively, the “CMIG Agreement”), in each case, with CM Bermuda Limited (the “Seller”) and CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd.
We paid the Seller a total consideration of $261.3 million upon the closing of the transactions under the CMIG Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we paid the Seller for full satisfaction and discharge of all obligations and all other claims of any nature related to our Series A Preference Shares held by the Seller and the related Certificate of Designation of Series A Preference Shares of our Company. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, we repurchased 9,077,705 of our issued and outstanding common shares held by the Seller for approximately $125.0 million, which were cancelled and retired.
Workers’ Compensation Loss Portfolio Transfer
On April 30, 2024, SiriusPoint America Insurance Company (“SiriusPoint America”), a subsidiary of SiriusPoint Ltd., entered into the Master Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2024, made by and between SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon National”), an insurer domiciled in Texas and an affiliate of Enstar Group Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Enstar”).
Pursuant to the Master Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, among other documents, (a) SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National will enter into a Loss Portfolio Transfer Reinsurance Agreement (the “LPT Agreement”), pursuant to which SiriusPoint America will cede and Clarendon National will assume 100% of the net liability with respect to certain workers’ compensation insurance exposures of SiriusPoint America (the “Subject Business”) on a funds withheld basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the LPT Agreement including an aggregate limit; (b) SiriusPoint America and an affiliate of Clarendon National (the “Administrator”) will enter into an Administrative Services Agreement concerning the Administrator’s authority and responsibility for certain administrative services related to the Subject Business, including claims handling; and (c) Enstar shall issue a Parental Guarantee in favor of SiriusPoint America guaranteeing Clarendon National’s obligations under the LPT Agreement. In certain circumstances and in lieu of the guarantee obligations provided thereunder, Clarendon National may post letters of credit as collateral securing Clarendon National’s reinsurance obligations with respect to the Subject Business. Immediately prior to the effective date of the LPT Agreement, SiriusPoint will be commuting certain ceded workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts, and the liabilities related to those commuted contracts will be included in the Subject Business.
This transaction covers approximately $400 million of SiriusPoint reserves, including liabilities to be commuted, valued as of December 31, 2023 and the reinsurance premium. The aggregate limit under the LPT Agreement is 150% of the premium paid less certain adjustments for paid losses in the interim period prior to the effective date of the contract. The Master Agreement and the LPT Agreement include customary representations and warranties, indemnification obligations, covenants and termination rights of the parties.
We received the appropriate regulatory approvals and the transaction closed on October 1, 2024. The financial impacts of the transaction will be included in our fourth quarter results, and we expect to recognize a loss of approximately $22.0 million.
Debt Refinancing
In April 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears. The 2024 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 5, 2024, between our Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. In April 2024, we amended our 4.6% 2016 Senior Notes pursuant to a Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and following such amendments we completed the redemption of all remaining outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Senior Notes. We also redeemed all $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2015 Senior Notes in April 2024. We used certain of the proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes, together with available cash, to fund the purchase of validly tendered 2016 Senior Notes and the redemptions of the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2015 Senior Notes.
Ratings
On March 19, 2024, Moody’s assigned our operating companies a new financial strength rating of A3, or stable.

Core Results
See “Segment Results” below for additional information.
Annualized Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders
Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing annualized net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the period by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders’ equity balances at the beginning and end of the period.
Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was calculated as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended | | Nine months ended |
| September 30, 2024 | | September 30, 2023 | | September 30, 2024 | | September 30, 2023 |
| ($ in millions) |
Net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders | $ | 4.5 | | | $ | 57.5 | | | $ | 205.2 | | | $ | 245.3 | |
| | | | | | | |
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period | 2,504.1 | | | 2,036.0 | | | 2,313.9 | | | 1,874.7 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period | 2,494.9 | | | 2,050.0 | | | 2,494.9 | | | 2,050.0 | |
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders | $ | 2,499.5 | | | $ | 2,043.0 | | | $ | 2,404.4 | | | $ | 1,962.4 | |
| | | | | | | |
Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders | 0.7 | % | | 11.3 | % | | 11.4 | % | | 16.7 | % |
| | | | | | | |
The decrease in annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders was driven by lower net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the loss from the settlement of the Series A Preference shares under the CMIG Agreement.
The decrease in annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by lower net income relative to common shareholder’s equity in the period as the Company’s equity has grown each quarter since the beginning of 2023.
Book Value Per Share
Book value per common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per diluted common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of diluted common shares outstanding, calculated similar to the treasury stock method.
Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliation.
As of September 30, 2024, book value per common share was $15.41, representing an increase of $0.73 per share, or 5.0%, from $14.68 per share as of June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, book value per diluted common share was $14.73, representing an increase of $0.42 per share, or 2.9%, from $14.31 per share as of June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, tangible book value per diluted common share was $13.88, representing an increase of $0.41 per share, or 3.0%, from $13.47 per share as of June 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, book value per common share was $15.41, representing an increase of $1.65 per share, or 12.0%, from $13.76 per share as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, book value per diluted common share was $14.73, representing an increase of $1.38 per share, or 10.3%, from $13.35 per share as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, tangible book value per diluted common share was $13.88, representing an increase of $1.41 per share, or 11.3%, from $12.47 per share as of December 31, 2023.
The increases reflect continued positive underwriting and investment results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the impact of the share repurchase in the period.

The key changes in our consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods are discussed below.
Underwriting results
The improvement in net underwriting results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increased favorable prior year loss reserve development and a more
favorable commission ratio. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, favorable prior year loss reserve development was $30.6 million from favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses, compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the March 2, 2023 loss portfolio transfer transaction (“2023 LPT”).
The decrease in net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development. Favorable prior year loss reserve development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $122.2 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, underwriting income increased by $19.8 million primarily resulting from favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H and our runoff business due to lower than expected reported attritional losses. This increase was partially offset by higher acquisition costs from business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services.

(1)Includes $612.1 million of investments in the Third Point Optimized Credit portfolio (“TPOC Portfolio”) as of September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $562.0 million).
(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing our contractual obligations under certain (re)insurance contracts that we will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.
The decrease in total invested assets and cash was primarily driven by the use of funds to support the Series A Preference Shares settlement and share repurchase under the CMIG Agreement for $261.3 million, the redemption of $115.0 million of outstanding debt and the commutation of a deposit accounted contract of $98.2 million resulting in the return of funds to the cedant. This decrease is partially offset by a $90.4 million gain on the AFS portfolio, primarily driven by changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies and the impact to the fair value of our fixed income portfolio.
The duration of our fixed income portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, is 3.0 years (December 31, 2023 - 2.8 years). The increase from the comparative period is due to our effort to match our asset duration with economic liabilities in the current interest rate environment. The average credit rating of our investment portfolio is AA as of September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - AA) with no defaults in the investment portfolio.
The following table provides a breakdown of structured products between investment and non-investment grade securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $81.5 million. Increased investment income is primarily due to increased interest rates and our rotation of the portfolio from cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government and government agency positions to high-grade corporate debt and other securitized assets, in an effort to better diversify our portfolio.
Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $228.5 million, partially offset by unrealized losses on other long-term investments of $45.8 million. Increased investment income is primarily due to increased interest rates and our rotation of the portfolio from cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government and government agency positions to high-grade corporate debt and other securitized assets, in an effort to better diversify our portfolio. Losses on private other long-term investments were the result of updated fair value analyses consistent with the current insurtech market trends and disposals of positions as we execute our strategy to focus on underwriting relationships with MGAs.
Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to investment results from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $71.0 million driven by dividend and interest income primarily on U.S. treasury bill and corporate debt positions.
Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $208.5 million. Increased dividend and investment income was due to the ongoing re-positioning of the portfolio to focus on investing in high grade fixed income securities.
Refer to Part I, Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.
Other Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, other revenues primarily consisted of $18.2 million of service fee revenue from MGAs compared to $20.3 million of service fee revenue from MGAs for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in service fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”), partially offset by increases in the travel insurance business of International Medical Group, Inc. (“IMG”). Effective June 30, 2024, we deconsolidated Arcadian when our management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’
agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in our Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other revenues primarily consisted of a gain of $95.9 million from the deconsolidation of Arcadian and $69.9 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, compared to $72.2 million of service fee revenue from MGAs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in service fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by increases in IMG’s travel insurance business.
Loss on Settlement and Change in Fair Value of Liability Classified Instruments
Loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $117.3 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included a loss of $90.7 million from the settlement of the Series A preference shares under the CMIG Agreement and a loss of $26.7 million from the change in fair value of our Merger Warrants, mainly driven by the increase in our share price.
Loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $122.6 million compared to $44.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a loss of $90.7 million from the settlement of the Series A preference shares under the CMIG Agreement and a loss of $28.7 million from the change in fair value of our Merger Warrants, mainly driven by the increase in our share price.
Net Corporate and Other Expenses
Net corporate and other expenses include costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and non-underwriting activities, including services expenses from our MGA subsidiaries, restructuring charges, and current expected credit losses from our insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable.
The decrease in Net corporate and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by restructuring charges of $5.1 million, which include severance-related charges, incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The decrease in Net corporate and other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by restructuring charges of $23.8 million, which include severance-related charges, incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was partially offset by increased severance and compensation related expenses associated with management changes, consulting fees related to nonrecurring projects and increased regulatory fees as we grow our Lloyds business, incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 services expenses decreased to $41.3 million compared to $48.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 services expenses decreased to $135.0 million compared to $144.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases were primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian in the second quarter of 2024 and Banyan in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively (2023 - $2.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively). The slight increases in amortization were due to the use of amortization patterns which are based on the period over which they are expected to generate future net cash inflows from the use of the underlying intangible assets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and finance costs are related to interest due on our senior and subordinated notes, as well as interest associated with certain reinsurance contracts.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $13.8 million compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower funds withheld interest on the 2023 LPT of
$5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $50.0 million compared to $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses on external debt instruments and the debt refinancing, as well as higher expense on the 2023 LPT, which was $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was partially offset by a gain on the commutation of a deposit accounted contract.
Foreign Currency Translation
Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America and certain subsidiaries of IMG, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our business. Assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The remeasurement process results in foreign exchange (gains) losses in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange (gains) losses exclude investment generated net realized and unrealized investment gains as addressed in Investment Results above.
The foreign exchange losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were primarily driven by the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to our underwriting activities, partially offset by the impact of our currency hedges.
The foreign exchange gains of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to $2.5 million of foreign exchange gains from our international operations. The foreign exchange losses of $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to $14.0 million of foreign exchange losses from our international operations.
Additional foreign currency gains (losses) were recorded as part of the investments results. See Note 8 “Total net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses)” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
On an aggregate basis, the effects of foreign exchange resulted in charges to net income of $4.5 million and $0.7 million as well as charges to comprehensive income of $5.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
The decrease in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is driven by a decrease in pre-tax income in taxable jurisdictions.
Segment Results — Three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. We classify our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Collectively, the sum of these two segments constitute “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.
Corporate results include all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 (the “Restructuring Plan”) and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write.

Core Premium Volume
Gross premiums written decreased by $35.0 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net premiums written decreased by $30.0 million, or 5.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net premiums earned decreased by $29.0 million, or 5.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases in premium volume were primarily driven by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Reinsurance from Property and International Specialty and increases from Insurance & Services from strategic organic and new program growth.
Core Underwriting Results
The improvement in net underwriting results of $20.0 million was primarily driven by increased favorable prior year loss reserve development and a more favorable commission ratio, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 favorable prior year loss reserve development was $29.7 million from favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses, compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $10.6 million or 1.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, including $10.0 million from Hurricane Helene, compared to $6.7 million or 1.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which includes losses of $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia.
Core Services Results
Services revenues decreased to $48.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $58.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by higher services revenues in IMG from increased demand for its travel products and services.
Net services fee income was $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, also driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian. Service margin, which is calculated as Net service fee income as a percentage of services revenues, decreased to 14.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 16.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Net services income remained stable for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Core Premium Volume
Gross premiums written decreased by $177.0 million, or 6.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net premiums written decreased by $104.8 million, or 5.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net premiums earned decreased by $104.7 million, or 6.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases in premium volume were primarily due to the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, with the most significant offset being strategic organic and new program growth within Insurance & Services.
Core Underwriting Results
The decrease in net underwriting results was primarily driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development. Favorable prior year loss reserve development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $102.4 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income increased by $27.7 million primarily driven by favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends, as well as favorable development in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses, partially offset by higher acquisition costs from business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services.
Core Services Results
Services revenues decreased to $171.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $181.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian.
Net services fee income decreased to $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $37.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 also driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian. Service margin, which is calculated as net service fee income as a percentage of services revenues, increased to 21.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 20.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
We generated net services income of $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher margins from IMG.
Reinsurance Segment
The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwriters Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.

(1)Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.
Premium Volume
Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment increased by $49.1 million, or 18.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven increases in Bermuda and New York Property and International Specialty, partially offset by lower premiums written in New York Casualty.
Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment increased by $4.1 million, or 0.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by increases in International Specialty, partially offset by lower premiums written in New York Casualty and Bermuda Specialty.
Underwriting Results
The increase in net underwriting results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower attritional losses and favorable commission ratio, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the three months ended
September 30, 2024, were $11.3 million or 4.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, including $10.0 million from Hurricane Helene, compared to $6.8 million or 2.6 percentage points on the combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which includes losses of $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia.
The decrease in net underwriting results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development as the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $90.6 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily driven by favorable development in Property, mainly driven by reserve releases relating to favorable COVID-19 development trends.
Insurance & Services Segment
Through the Insurance & Services segment, we underwrite primary insurance in a number of sectors. With deep expertise and global reach, we offer innovative insurance solutions to meet the changing risk circumstances of our clients every day. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Property & Casualty, and Specialty.
As of September 30, 2024, we have equity stakes in 22 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other), which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business, including general liability, professional liability, directors & officers, credit and bond, cyber, commercial automobile, workers’ compensation, accident & health, and other specialty insurance classes. As of September 30, 2024, we consolidated three MGAs in our financial statements: ArmadaCorp Capital, LLC (“Armada”), Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) and IMG. Effective June 30, 2024, we deconsolidated Arcadian when our management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’ agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in our Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian. There has been no change to our underwriting relationship with Arcadian. We provide underwriting capacity in the form of insurance or reinsurance to 13 non-consolidated entities in addition to the three consolidated MGAs. We also have investments stakes in 6 other entities where we have no underwriting relationships. The investment interests in the non-consolidated entities are included in strategic investments within Other long term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.

Premium Volume
Gross premiums written decreased by $84.1 million, or 18.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, representing $98.0 million of gross premiums written for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as well as lower A&H premiums, partially offset by strategic organic and new program growth.
Gross premiums written decreased by $181.1 million, or 11.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, representing $331.8 million of gross premiums written for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as well as lower A&H premiums, partially offset by strategic organic and new program growth.
Consolidated MGAs
We deconsolidated Banyan as of October 31, 2023 when we sold our ownership shares. However, we executed a three-year extension of the commercial relationship with Banyan, extending our partnership. We also deconsolidated Arcadian as of June 30, 2024 as a result of no longer having a controlling interest. The results of operations of Arcadian are included in our consolidated financial statements through June 30, 2024. There has been no change to our underwriting relationship with Arcadian.
Gross premiums written generated by the consolidated MGAs in the aggregate decreased by $91.3 million, or 60.8%, to $58.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $150.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily resulting from the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Banyan.
Gross premiums written generated by the consolidated MGAs in the aggregate decreased by $316.6 million, or 158.2%, to $200.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $516.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily resulting from the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Banyan.
Book value for the consolidated MGAs was $89.9 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $76.3 million at December 31, 2023, when adjusted to exclude Arcadian.
Underwriting Results
The improvement in underwriting income of $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by net favorable prior year loss reserve development of $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, mainly in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses, compared to net adverse prior year loss reserve development of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, mainly in Workers’ Compensation.
The improvement in underwriting income of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower attritional losses in A&H.
Services Results
The decrease in services revenues of $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by higher services revenues in IMG from increased demand for its travel products and services.
The decrease in services revenues of $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian.
Net services income remained stable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Corporate
Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effects of the Restructuring Plan and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the period over period changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

The changes in premium volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are primarily driven by International run-off business included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which we exited in conjunction with the LPT, offset by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The increase in underwriting income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily driven by catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, of $5.3 million, primarily from Storm Hans, included in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The decrease in underwriting income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily driven by an increase in acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to increased commissions on a sliding scale commission contract that experienced favorable development in the period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, Core combined ratio, accident year loss ratio, accident year combined ratio, attritional loss ratio and tangible book value per diluted common share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.
Core Results
Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.
Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.
Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, and services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.
Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.
Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.
See Note 4 “Segment reporting” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information and a calculation of Core results.
Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share
Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Tangible book value per
diluted common share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.
The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Requirements
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.
SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.
For additional commitments and contingencies that may affect our liquidity requirements see Note 18 “Commitments and contingencies” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Dividend Capacity and Capital
We are subject to regulatory and other constraints that affect our ability to pay dividends. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, SiriusPoint declared and paid dividends of $4.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, to the Series B preference shareholders (2023 - $4.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, SiriusPoint received $283.0 million and $428.0 million, respectively (2023 - $10.0 million and $89.2 million, respectively), of distributions from SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), its immediate wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe the dividend/distribution
capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $810.0 million as of December 31, 2023, provides SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future. For a further discussion of the various restrictions on SiriusPoint Bermuda’s ability to pay dividends, see Part I, Item 1 “Business - Regulation” in our 2023 Form 10-K.
In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch, S&P and Moody’s. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint. In addition, the Company annually files the prescribed form of capital and solvency return, which comprises the insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model. The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining a Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s business. The Company’s 2023 filed BSCR ratio was 255%. Further, the Company is currently completing its third quarter 2024 Bermuda Quarterly Financial Return, with the estimated ratio improving to 265%.
Sources of Liquidity
Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.
Effective February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which was renewed in February 2024 for one additional year. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Facility and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility.
Financing
We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.
The following table represents a summary of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(1)Effective rate considers the effect of the debt issuance costs, discount, and premium.
In April 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears. In April 2024, we amended our 4.6% 2016 Senior Notes pursuant to a Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and following such amendments we completed the redemption of all remaining outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Senior Notes. We also redeemed all $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2015 Senior Notes in April 2024. We used certain of the proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes, together with available cash, to fund the purchase of validly tendered 2016 Senior Notes and the redemptions of the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2015 Senior Notes.
For further details and discussion with respect to the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2024 Senior Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes, please refer to Note 13 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” of Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Debt Covenants
As of September 30, 2024, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.
Series A Preference Shares
Pursuant to the CMIG Agreement, the Company settled all Series A Preference Shares held by CM Bermuda Ltd. during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For further details and discussion with respect to the Series A Preference Shares, see Note 3 “Significant transactions” and Note 18 “Commitments and contingencies” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Series B Preference Shares
SiriusPoint has 8,000,000 of Series B preference shares outstanding, par value $0.10, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPNT PB.” Dividends on the Series B preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0%.
As of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Series B preference shares was $200.0 million and reflected in shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint shareholders in the consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends of $4.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, to the Series B preference shareholders.
For further details and discussion with respect to the Series B preference shares, see Note 15 “Shareholders' equity” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Letter of Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2024, $1,205.5 million of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists under any of the letter of credit facilities, our subsidiaries could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letter of credit facilities as of September 30, 2024.
For further details and discussion with respect to letter of credit facilities, see Note 13 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements
Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of September 30, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1,369.6 million were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.
We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.
For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 13 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in Third Point funds securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments decreased by $318.2 million, or 11.4%, to $2,481.9 million as of September 30, 2024 from $2,800.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in investments securing reinsurance contracts and letters of credit.
For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 5 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (1) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $300.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements and retrocessional agreements.
Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| ($ in millions) |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (33.0) | | | $ | 367.9 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 140.4 | | | (395.3) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (393.5) | | | (75.1) | |
| | | |
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | (286.1) | | | (102.5) | |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period | 1,101.3 | | | 913.7 | |
| | | |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | $ | 815.2 | | | $ | 811.2 | |
Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables, the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The change in cash flows in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in the collection of premiums, as well as the loss on settlement of the Series A preference shares under the CMIG Agreement.
Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are driven by higher proceeds from sales and maturities of debt securities compared to purchases during the period, primarily to fund financing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily relates to purchases of debt securities during the period.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily consisted of a $517.9 million payment for the redemption of debt, a $129.7 million payment for the share repurchase under the CMIG Agreement, $98.2 million for a payment on a deposit liability contract, and $40.8 million related to the settlement of the Series A Preference shares under the CMIG Agreement, partially offset by $393.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of costs, and $18.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of options. Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $38.5 million for the settlement of CVRs, $18.0 million for the repayment of loans related to agreements to repurchase securities $12.0 million for cash dividends paid to preference shareholders, and $9.2 million for taxes paid on withholding shares, partially offset by $10.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options.
Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2024, total shareholders’ equity was $2,696.5 million, compared to $2,530.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase was due to net income of $205.2 million and accumulated other comprehensive income from unrealized gains from AFS debt securities of $90.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by the impact of the share repurchase in the period.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to Note 13 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for changes to our debt obligations.
Except as otherwise noted above, there have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations from our 2023 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies, please refer to Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” of Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. As of December 31, 2023, the accounting policies that required the most significant judgments and estimations by management were: (1) premium revenue recognition, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments, (4) valuation of components of purchase consideration, loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to acquisition of Sirius Group and (5) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our consolidated balance sheets include a substantial amount of assets and liabilities whose fair values are subject to market risk. The term market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity markets prices, and other relevant market rates and prices. Due to our sizable investment portfolio, market risk can have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position.
We believe we are principally exposed to the following types of market risk:
▪interest rate risk; and
▪foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a security to changes in interest rates. Our investment portfolio includes fixed income investments, whose fair values will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in fair values of fixed income investments, respectively. Additionally, fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by the creditworthiness of the issuer, prepayment options, relative values of alternative investments, the liquidity of the instrument, and other market factors.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our portfolio of fixed income investments by matching asset backing reserves with that of our economic liabilities, in addition to monitoring the average of investment-grade corporate securities; U.S. government and agency securities; foreign government, agency and provincial obligations; preferred stocks; asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities; and municipal obligations.
The following table summarizes the estimated effects of hypothetical increases and decreases in market interest rates on our debt securities as of September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fair value | | Assumed change in interest rate | | Estimated fair value after change in interest rate | | Pre-tax increase (decrease) in carrying value |
| ($ in millions) |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Debt securities | $ | 5,644.9 | | | 300 bp decrease | | 6,139.4 | | | $ | 494.5 | |
| | | 200 bp decrease | | 5,974.6 | | | 329.7 | |
| | | 100 bp decrease | | 5,809.8 | | | 164.9 | |
| | | 50 bp decrease | | 5,727.4 | | | 82.5 | |
| | | 50 bp increase | | 5,559.7 | | | (85.2) | |
| | | 100 bp increase | | 5,474.4 | | | (170.5) | |
| | | 200 bp increase | | 5,303.9 | | | (341.0) | |
| | | 300 bp increase | | 5,133.3 | | | $ | (511.6) | |
The magnitude of the fair value decrease in rising rates scenarios may be more significant than the fair value increase in comparable falling rates scenarios. This can occur because (i) the analysis floors interest rates at a de minimis level in falling rate scenarios, muting price increases, (ii) portions of the fixed income investment portfolio may be callable, muting price increases in falling interest rate scenarios and/or (iii) portions of the fixed income investment portfolio may experience cash flow extension in higher interest rate environments, which generally results in lower fixed income asset prices.
Interest payments on our 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes are required to be serviced in Swedish kronor by reference to Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate, a floating interest rate benchmark. This benchmark rate has increased year to date and it is possible that it will continue to do so, which could result in increasing our interest expense in U.S. dollars.
Investments in Related Party Investment Funds
The carrying values of our investments in Related Party Investment Funds are carried at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the net asset value of the respective limited partnership, as provided by the independent fund administrator. Market prices of the underlying investment securities, in general, are subject to fluctuations. Assuming a hypothetical 10% and 30% increase or decrease in the value of our investments in Related Party Investment Funds as of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of these investments would have increased or decreased by approximately $11.5 million and $34.4 million, pre-tax, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
In the ordinary course of business, we hold non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities, which are valued using period-end exchange rates. Non-U.S. dollar denominated foreign revenues and expenses are valued using average exchange rates over the period. Foreign currency exchange-rate risk is the risk that we will incur losses on a U.S. dollar basis due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The following table summarizes the estimated effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against select foreign currencies would have had on the carrying value of our net assets as of September 30, 2024:

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - Other Information
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on reinsurance treaties or contracts or direct surplus lines insurance policies. In the Company’s industry, business litigation may involve allegations of underwriting or claims-handling errors or misconduct, disputes relating to the scope of, or compliance with, the terms of delegated underwriting agreements, employment claims, regulatory actions or disputes arising from the Company’s business ventures. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving, among other things, disputed interpretations of policy coverages. Generally, the Company’s direct insurance operations are subject to greater frequency and diversity of claims and claims-related litigation than its reinsurance operations and, in some jurisdictions, may be subject to direct actions by allegedly injured persons or
entities seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, which involve or arise out of claims on policies issued by the Company’s subsidiaries, are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of our business. These claims are considered in the Company’s loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in litigation or arbitration related to its claims for payment in respect of ceded reinsurance, including disputes that challenge the Company’s ability to enforce its underwriting intent. Such matters could result, directly or indirectly, in providers of protection not meeting their obligations to the Company or not doing so on a timely basis. The Company may also be subject to other disputes from time to time, relating to operational or other matters distinct from insurance or reinsurance claims. Any litigation or arbitration, or regulatory process, contains an element of uncertainty, and the value of an exposure or a gain contingency related to a dispute is difficult to estimate. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, business or operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including those described in the Company’s risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K, that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Below are material changes to our risk factors since our 2023 Form 10-K.
We are reliant on financial strength and credit ratings, and any downgrade or withdrawal of ratings and/or change in outlook may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results from operations.
Third-party rating agencies assess and rate the financial strength, including claims-paying ability, of insurers and reinsurers. These ratings are based upon criteria established by the rating agencies and are subject to revision at any time at the sole discretion of the rating agencies. Some of the criteria relate to general economic conditions and other circumstances outside of the rated company's control. These financial strength ratings are used by policyholders, agents and brokers to assess the suitability of insurers and reinsurers as business counterparties and are an important factor in establishing our competitive position in insurance and reinsurance markets.
The maintenance of an “A-” or better financial strength rating from AM Best and/or S&P or “A3” or better financial strength rating from Moody's is particularly important to our operating insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries to bind property and casualty insurance and reinsurance business in most markets. In addition, issuer credit ratings are used by existing or potential investors to assess the likelihood of repayment on a particular debt issue. Accordingly, the maintenance of an investment grade credit rating (e.g., “BBB-” or better from S&P or Fitch) is important to our ability to raise new debt with acceptable terms. Strong credit ratings are important factors that provide better financial flexibility when issuing new debt or restructuring existing debt. A downgrade, withdrawal or similar action concerning our credit ratings could limit our ability to raise new debt or could make new debt more costly and/or result in more restrictive conditions.
We are the obligor of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Senior Notes. In certain circumstances, if an event of default were to occur and remain uncured then the 2024 Senior Notes will become immediately due and payable. Either of these outcomes could require use of cash that we might otherwise use in operating our business. In addition, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations, which could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes. Effective February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which was renewed in February 2024 for one additional year. In certain circumstances, a downgrade of the rating assigned to the Facility would result in an increase in the annual interest rate payable on the Facility, which could require use of cash that we might otherwise use in operating our business. See “Risks Relating to Our Business—Inability to service our indebtedness could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and could potentially result in a downgrade or withdrawal of our credit ratings, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.”
Rating agencies periodically evaluate us and our operating insurance and reinsurance companies to confirm that we continue to meet the criteria of the ratings previously assigned to us. A downgrade or withdrawal of the financial strength rating of our operating insurance and reinsurance companies could severely limit or prevent us from writing new policies or renewing existing policies, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, some of our assumed reinsurance contracts contain optional cancellation, commutation and/or funding provisions that would be triggered if AM Best and/or S&P were to downgrade our rating below “A-” or withdraw the financial strength ratings of our principal insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries. A downgrade may also require us
to establish trusts or post letters of credit for ceding company clients. A client may choose to exercise these rights depending on, among other things, the reasons for such a downgrade, the extent of the downgrade, the prevailing market conditions, the degree of unexpired coverage, and the pricing and availability of replacement reinsurance coverage. We cannot predict in advance how many of our clients would exercise such rights in the event of a downgrade or withdrawal, but widespread exercise of these options could be materially adverse.
Inability to service our indebtedness could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and could potentially result in a downgrade or withdrawal of our credit ratings, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
As of September 30, 2024, our outstanding indebtedness included $266.0 million in 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes and $394.5 million in 2024 Senior Notes.
We are a holding company and, accordingly, conduct substantially all operations through our operating subsidiaries. As a result, our cash flow and our ability to service our debt depend in part upon the earnings of our operating subsidiaries and on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments from such subsidiaries to us. See “Risks Relating to Our Business—Our ability to pay dividends may be constrained by our holding company structure and certain regulatory and other factors.”
Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on our indebtedness, or to provide us with funds for our payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. Our operating subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future financing sources may not be available to us in amounts sufficient to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all, or to fund our other business needs. In addition to being limited by the financial condition and operating requirements of such subsidiaries, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions.
To the extent that we need funds but our subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation, or are otherwise unable to distribute funds, our liquidity and financial condition would be adversely affected and we would potentially be unable to satisfy our obligations under our existing or future indebtedness or any of our other obligations. If we cannot service our indebtedness, the implementation of our business strategy would be impeded, and we could be prevented from entering into transactions that would otherwise benefit our business.
Our right to receive any assets of any of our respective subsidiaries upon liquidation or reorganization of such subsidiaries, and therefore the rights of the holders of our indebtedness to participate in those assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of such subsidiary’s creditors. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our respective subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiaries and any indebtedness of such subsidiaries senior to that held by us. Our indebtedness would also be structurally subordinated to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock or shares issued by our subsidiaries, whether currently outstanding or issued hereafter. Moreover, the rights of shareholders of SiriusPoint to receive any assets of SiriusPoint upon liquidation or reorganization of SiriusPoint would be subordinate to all of the foregoing claims.
Our indebtedness may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business and may otherwise place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
We or our subsidiaries may in the future incur or guarantee additional indebtedness. The indentures governing the 2024 Senior Notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur. Our debt combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments could have significant adverse consequences, including:
•requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of interest on, and principal of, our debt and payment of other obligations and commitments, which will reduce the amounts available to fund working capital, the expansion of our business and other general corporate purposes;
•increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions, and exposing us to the risk of changing interest rates;
•obligating us to additional restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions or obtain further debt or equity financing;
•making it more difficult for us to make payments on our existing or future obligations;
•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and
•placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options.
In addition, a failure to comply with the covenants under our debt instruments could result in an event of default under those instruments. In the event of an acceleration of amounts due under our debt instruments as a result of an event of default, we may not have sufficient funds and may be unable to arrange for additional financing to repay our indebtedness, and the lenders could seek to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness.
We may not have the liquidity or ability to raise the funds necessary to pay the principal or interest on our outstanding debt obligations.
At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of our 2024 Senior Notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, will become due and payable. We must pay interest in cash on the notes quarterly, or semi-annually, as applicable. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain sufficient financing at the time we are required to make these payments. Furthermore, our ability to make these payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our indebtedness. Our failure to pay interest when due, if uncured for 30 days, or our failure to pay the principal amount when due, will constitute an event of default under the indentures governing the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes. A default under the indentures could also lead to a default under agreements governing our indebtedness. If the repayment of that indebtedness is accelerated as a result, then we may not have sufficient funds to repay that indebtedness or to pay the principal or interest on the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.
