ALLEGHANY CORPORATION REPORTS 2013 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY, February 25, 2014 Alleghany Corporation (NYSE-Y) today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013. Book value per common share1 grew to $412.96 as of December 31, 2013, an increase of 8.9% from book value per common share of $379.13 at 2012 year-end. Total stockholders equity2 increased to $6.9 billion as of December 31, 2013 from approximately $6.4 billion as of December 31, 2012.
Alleghany reported net earnings3 of $205.3 million, or $12.24 per diluted share for the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $92.6 million, or $5.47 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of last year. For the full year 2013, Alleghany reported net earnings3 of $628.4 million, or $37.44 per diluted share, compared with $702.2 million, or $45.48 per diluted share for 2012. The fourth quarter and full year results for 2012 include an after-tax underwriting loss, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, of $267.8 million from Super Storm Sandy. In addition, full year 2012 results include three hundred days of results of TransRe, as well as merger-related items associated with the TransRe merger, including a gain of $494.9 million resulting from the application of purchase accounting treatment, amortization of intangible assets of $253.3 million and transaction costs of $33.8 million.

Weston M. Hicks, President and chief executive officer, commented, Alleghany generated solid returns in 2013, growing book value per share by 8.9%. Our results were driven by strong underwriting performance both at TransRe and RSUI, resulting in a 90.1% combined ratio for the full year, as well as the total return on our investment portfolio, which was 3.3% for the year due largely to strong equity returns.
In our reinsurance segment, TransRe achieved the best underwriting result in its history and we continue to be impressed with the quality of the team and its business. TransRes combined ratio for 2013 was 89.2% in the fourth quarter and 89.9% for the full year. These were excellent results, particularly in light of the increasingly competitive environment for reinsurance. TransRe benefitted from a below average year for property catastrophe losses and favorable loss reserve development. Although gross premiums written for 2013 increased by 16.4% over 2012, this increase is inflated due to 2012 including only approximately ten months of TransRe activity. TransRes gross premiums written in 2013 were down by approximately 5% over full year 2012, which is more reflective of managements highly selective underwriting approach in a challenging marketplace.
Our insurance operations recorded a combined ratio of 95.1% for the fourth quarter and 91.0% for the full year in 2013, driven by favorable results at RSUI which recorded an 80.2% combined ratio. In addition, RSUI was able to grow its premiums by 12.3% in 2013 through a combination of rate increases and new business. RSUI continues to be a meaningful contributor to our results. Underwriting profits at RSUI were somewhat offset by losses at Capitol and PacificComp. Although the performance of these two subsidiaries remains below acceptable levels, we are encouraged by the steps being taken by their leadership teams.
Mr. Hicks continued, Our investment strategy remains focused on balancing interest rate risk through the combination of an intermediate duration fixed income portfolio a prudent position relative to our loss reserves with equity security exposures that performed well as interest rates rose in 2013. For the year, our equity portfolio was up 35% compared with an increase in the S&P 500 of 32%. This outperformance occurred despite Alleghany holding meaningful cash to allow flexibility as opportunities arise. Our equity performance was especially important in 2013, as rising interest rates, and the corresponding drop in market values of our fixed income securities, essentially eliminated any fixed income investment returns. We believe that our previously-announced strategic relationship with Ares Management will provide an additional reduction to interest rate risk through an allocation to credit strategies with floating interest rates. Simultaneously, we have taken steps to provide some protection against the risk of a recessionary economy and allocated a portion of our assets to long-dated zero coupon Treasury securities. While this position was at a slight unrealized loss at year-end, subsequent market movements have shown the value of this hedge.
In 2013, Alleghany repurchased an aggregate of 113,160 shares of its common stock in the open market for $40.4 million at an average price per share of $356.92. Following this activity, Alleghany had $241.9 million remaining on its currently effective $300 million share repurchase authorization.

2013 Fourth Quarter Underwriting Results
Alleghanys underwriting profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $98.7 million, compared with an underwriting loss of $222.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The underwriting results for the 2013 fourth quarter reflect an $86.1 million underwriting profit for the reinsurance segment (TransRe), compared with an underwriting loss of $102.4 million for the 2012 fourth quarter, as well as an underwriting profit of $12.6 million for the insurance segment, compared with an underwriting loss of $119.6 million for the 2012 fourth quarter.
TransRes underwriting results in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 benefitted from the absence of major catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses. The fourth quarter of 2012 included significant catastrophe losses attributable to Super Storm Sandy, but benefitted from the impact of merger-related accounting, which had the effect of reducing commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses in the 2012 fourth quarter.
The improvement in the underwriting results of the insurance segment in the fourth quarter of 2013 from the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily reflects the absence of catastrophe losses in the fourth quarter of 2013, which were significant in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to Super Storm Sandy, partially offset by net unfavorable prior year reserve development, primarily from Capitol.
Total net premiums written for the 2013 fourth quarter were $1,001.5 million, compared with $1,023.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 2.2%. TransRes net premiums written decreased by 8.6% in the 2013 fourth quarter when compared with the 2012 fourth quarter. Net premiums written in the fourth quarter of 2012 included significant reinstatement premiums from Super Storm Sandy. If TransRes reinstatement premiums from Super Storm Sandy were excluded, TransRes net premiums written would be down 4.6%. Net premiums written in Alleghanys insurance segment increased by $47.9 million or 23.4% in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with the fourth quarter of last year. Each of Alleghanys insurance subsidiaries contributed to this growth. RSUIs net premiums written increased by 20.3%, Capitols net premiums written increased by 27.9% and PacificComps net premiums written increased by 75.8% in the 2013 fourth quarter.
Alleghanys combined ratio for the 2013 fourth quarter was 90.6%, compared with 120.0% for the 2012 fourth quarter. TransRes combined ratio for the 2013 fourth quarter was 89.2%, compared with 111.4% for the 2012 fourth quarter, and the insurance segments combined ratio for the 2013 fourth quarter was 95.1%, compared with 156.5% for the 2012 fourth quarter.
2013 Full Year Underwriting Results
Alleghanys underwriting profit for 2013 was $420.7 million, compared with $220.3 million for 2012. The 2013 underwriting results reflect a $334.0 million underwriting profit for TransRe, compared with a $266.7 million underwriting profit for 2012 in the three hundred-day period of Alleghanys ownership of TransRe. In addition, the 2013 underwriting results reflect an $86.7 million underwriting profit for the insurance segment, compared with a $46.4 million underwriting loss for 2012.
The increase in TransRes underwriting profit in 2013 from 2012 primarily reflects lower catastrophe losses and favorable prior accident year reserve development, partially offset by an increase in commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses relative to net premiums earned. As explained above, the results for 2013 reflect the absence of the favorable impact arising from the acquisition method of accounting, which was significant in 2012.

The improvement in underwriting results of the insurance segment in 2013 from 2012 primarily reflects lower catastrophe losses.
Total net premiums written for 2013 were $4,287.4 million, compared with $3,723.9 million for 2012. TransRes net premiums written for 2013 increased by 14.3% to $3,248.0 million from 2012, primarily reflecting the fact that 2012 did not include net premiums written by TransRe prior to the merger with Alleghany on March 6, 2012. The insurance segments net premiums written for 2013 increased by 17.7% to $1,039.4 million from 2012, primarily due to new business written and modest casualty price increases at RSUI, Capitol and PacificComp. Each of Alleghanys insurance subsidiaries contributed to this growth. RSUIs net premiums written were up 15.7%, Capitols net premiums written increased by 15.0% and PacificComps net premiums written increased by 114.7% in 2013.
Alleghanys combined ratio for 2013 was 90.1%, compared with 94.1% in 2012. TransRes combined ratio for 2013 was 89.9%, compared with 90.9% for 2012, and the insurance segments combined ratio for 2013 was 91.0%, compared with 105.7% for 2012. As noted above, TransRes combined ratio was favorably impacted as a result of applying the acquisition method of accounting for the merger because deferred acquisition costs were written off at the March 6, 2012 merger date. As of March 6, 2013, the application of the acquisition method of accounting no longer had a significant impact on TransRes combined ratio. Excluding the impact of the application of the acquisition method of accounting, TransRes estimated combined ratio was approximately 100% for 2012.
Investment Performance
Alleghanys net investment income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 was $131.2 million and $465.7 million, respectively, an increase of 67.3% and 48.8% over the corresponding 2012 periods. The 48.8% increase in 2013 primarily reflects the fact that 2012 did not include net investment income of TransRe prior to the merger with Alleghany on March 6, 2012. Aside from the impact of the merger, the increase in net investment income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 reflects higher income from other invested assets, as well as higher interest and dividend income. The interest income earned on TransRes fixed income portfolio is net of a significant increase to amortization expense resulting from the write-up of the portfolios amortized cost basis to its fair value and the corresponding decrease in interest income accrual rates to reflect market rates as of the date of the merger. This increased amortization expense reduced TransRes reported net investment income, compared with TransRes net investment income prior to the merger. As the securities which constituted the pre-merger portfolio mature or are sold, the amortization of this expense will decline and TransRes fixed income portfolio yield will increasingly reflect market rates since the merger date.
Alleghanys investment performance also benefitted from the operating results and the sale of Homesite which was completed on December 31, 2013. During 2013, Alleghany recognized $42.9 million in investment income from its percentage of ownership of Homesites earnings and recorded a realized gain of $46.8 million upon the completion of its sale.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this press release, Alleghanys results of operations have been presented in the way that Alleghany believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use financial information in evaluating the performance of Alleghany. This presentation includes the use of underwriting profit and net earnings before merger-related items and income taxes, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as such term is defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC.
Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and loss adjustment expense and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and does not include net investment income, net realized capital gains, other than temporary impairment losses, other income, other operating expenses, amortization of intangible assets or interest expense. Alleghany consistently uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to a segments underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss, and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance companys ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk.
Net earnings before merger-related items and income taxes represents earnings before income taxes, excluding gain on bargain purchase, amortization of intangible assets and merger-related transaction costs, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Alleghany uses net earnings before merger-related items and income taxes as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting earnings before income taxes attributable to its performance exclusive of non-recurring merger-related impacts.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliation of underwriting profit to earnings before income taxes and net earnings before merger-related items and income taxes to earnings before income taxes is presented herein.

ALLEGHANY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CATASTROPHE EXPOSURE
The business of our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries exposes them to losses from various catastrophe events. In a catastrophe event, losses from many insureds across multiple lines of business may result directly or indirectly from such single occurrence. Our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries take certain measures to mitigate the impact of catastrophe events through various means including considering catastrophe risks in their underwriting and pricing decisions, purchasing reinsurance, monitoring and modeling accumulated exposures, and managing exposure in key geographic zones and product lines that are prone to catastrophic events.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, other windstorms, earthquakes and other catastrophes have the potential to materially and adversely affect our operating results. Other risks, such as an outbreak of a pandemic disease, a major terrorist event, the bankruptcy of a major company or a marine and/or aviation disaster, could also have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
We evaluate catastrophic events and assess the probability of occurrence and magnitude through the use of industry recognized models and other techniques. We supplement these models by judgmentally interpreting and adjusting when appropriate the modeled output and by periodically monitoring the exposure risks of our operations. There is no single standard methodology to project possible losses from catastrophe exposures. Further, there are no industry standard assumptions used in projecting these losses, and the form and quality of the data obtained, including data obtained from insureds and ceding companies, and used in these models are not uniformly compatible with the data requirements of all models. Therefore, the use of different methodologies and assumptions could materially change the projected losses. Finally, these modeled losses may not be comparable with estimates made by other companies.
Although the analytical tools used to estimate catastrophe exposure are useful in both pricing and monitoring catastrophe risk, the estimates derived by use of these techniques are inherently uncertain and do not reflect our maximum exposures to these events. Although the models are frequently updated, these projections are nevertheless inherently imprecise. It is highly likely that our losses will vary, perhaps materially, from these estimates.
Projections of potential catastrophe losses are typically expressed in terms of the probable maximum loss, or PML. We define PML as our anticipated maximum loss (taking into account contract limits) caused by a single catastrophic event at a specified estimated return period affecting a broad contiguous area. These modeled losses are estimated based upon contracts in force at January 1, 2014 for TransRe and December 1, 2013 for RSUI.
The following is an overview of such modeled PMLs from property, engineering, marine and energy exposures and the associated natural perils that we deem most significant. The estimated amount of these modeled losses are presented for both a 100 year return period (having a likelihood of being exceeded in any single year of 1.0 percent), and a 250 year return period (having a likelihood of being exceeded in any single year of 0.4 percent), and are presented in two ways: (i) gross catastrophe losses; and (ii) after-tax net catastrophe costs such as gross losses, net of reinsurance, net reinstatement premiums and taxes. The reduction for reinsurance assumes that all reinsurers fulfill their obligations in accordance with contract terms.

Florida, Wind has the highest modeled after-tax net catastrophe costs for both a 100 year and 250 year return periods. These costs would represent approximately 7 percent and 11 percent, respectively, of stockholders equity as of December 31, 2013. If multiple severe catastrophic events occur in any one year, or a single catastrophic event affects more than one geographic area, the potential economic cost to us could be materially higher than any one of the amounts shown above.
There is much uncertainty and imprecision in the compilation of these estimates at many stages in the process. Moreover, the makeup of our in-force business is constantly changing as new business is added and existing contracts terminate or expire, including contracts for reinsurance coverage purchased by us. In addition, these estimates take into account what we believe to be the most likely accumulation of territories, but there can be no assurance that we have captured every possible scenario in our analysis. As a result of these factors, among others, there can be no assurance that we will not experience after-tax net catastrophe costs from individual events that will exceed these estimates by a material amount. There also can be no assurance that we will not experience catastrophe events more frequently than the modeled probabilities would suggest. In any given year, catastrophe events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this Financial Supplement, Alleghanys results of operations are presented in the way that Alleghany believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use financial information in evaluating Alleghanys performance. This Financial Supplement includes various non-GAAP financial measures under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). When such measures are disclosed, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided.
UNDERWRITING PROFIT
Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and LAE and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, and does not include net investment income, net realized capital gains, OTTI losses, other income, other operating expenses, amortization of intangible assets or interest expense. Alleghany consistently uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to a segments underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss, and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance companys ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk. A reconciliation of underwriting profit to earnings before income taxes is presented within Consolidated Underwriting Results on pages 10 to 13 of the Financial Supplement.
OPERATING INCOME (AND OPERATING INCOME PER SHARE)
Operating income and operating income per share exclude on an after-tax basis: net realized capital gains; other than temporary impairment losses; gain on bargain purchase; amortization of intangible assets; and merger-related transaction costs, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. Alleghany uses operating income and operating income per share as a supplement to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, the most comparable GAAP financial measures, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting net earnings and earnings per share attributable to its performance exclusive of non-recurring merger-related impacts, realized investment gains or losses, and impairments. A reconciliation of operating income and operating income per share to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, is presented within Operating Income Reconciliation on page 30 of the Financial Supplement.
ANNUALIZED INVESTMENT BOOK YIELD
Annualized investment book yield is calculated by dividing net investment income by average aggregate invested assets at book value. In calculating annualized investment book yield, net investment income for the period, determined in accordance with GAAP, is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized net investment income. Alleghany utilizes and presents annualized investment book yield in order to better disclose the performance of its investments.

Amortization of intangible assets include immaterial amounts of ongoing amortization arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries other than TransRe. With respect to taxes, the gain on bargain purchase did not result in a corresponding increase in income taxes, and certain of the transaction costs incurred were non-deductible. |
